Most Important Selected Qs for JEE AdvancedPhysicsOscillations
A cylindrical block of density d stays fully immersed in a beaker filled with two immiscible liquids of different densities d₁ and d₂ . The block is in equilibrium with half of it in liquid 1 and the other half in liquid 2. If the block is given small downward displacement, neglecting frictional loses, then
Options
- Ait executes simple harmonic motion
- Bit motion is oscillatory but not SHM
- Cfrequency of oscillation depends on size of the cylinder
- Ddisplacement of centre of cylinder is symmetric about its equilibrium position
Correct answer
D. displacement of centre of cylinder is symmetric about its equilibrium position
Step-by-step solution
When the block is displaced slightly downwards. Restarting force, F _ R = Axgd ₂- Axgd ₁ aligned & F_R= Agx (d₂-d₁ )(S H M) & = G (d₂-d₁ ) L d_E aligned
