Most Important Selected Qs for JEE AdvancedPhysicsOscillations
A long thin uniform rod of length L and mass m is free to rotate in a vertical plane about a horizontal fixed axis through its one end "O". A light spring of force constant k is connected vertically between the other end A of the rod and ground. When the rod is in equilibrium, it is parallel to the ground.
Options
- AThe period of small oscillations when the rod is rotated slightly and released is 2 m 3 k
- BThe period of small oscillations when the rod is rotated slightly and released is 2 m k
- CThe maximum speed of the displaced end of the rod is L ₀ 3 k m (The angular amplitude of small oscillations I
- DThe maximum speed of the displaced end of the rod is L ₀ 3 k m (The angular amplitude of small oscillations is
Correct answer
C. The maximum speed of the displaced end of the rod is L ₀ 3 k m (The angular amplitude of small oscillations I
Step-by-step solution
(a) Restoring torque about "O" due to elastic force of the spring, aligned & =-F L=-k y L(F=k y) & =-k L^2 ( as y=L ) aligned aligned & =l = 1 3 M L^2 d^2 d t^2 & 1 3 M L^2 d^2 d t^2 =-k L^2 & d^2 d t^2 =- 3 k M or = 3 k M and T=2 M 3 K aligned (b) In angular SHM, maximum angular velocity aligned & ( d d t )_ = ₀ = ₀ 3 k M & v=r(d / d t) aligned So, v_ =L ( d d t )_ =L ₀ 3 k M
