KVPY2013PhysicsOscillations
A ball is rolling without slipping in a spherical shallow bowl (radius R ) as shown in the figure and is executing simple harmonic motion. If the radius of the ball is doubled, the period of oscillation
Options
- Aincreases slightly
- Bis reduced by a factor of 1 / 2
- Cis increased by a factor of 2
- Ddecreases slightly
Correct answer
D. decreases slightly
Step-by-step solution
m g -F_ r =m aF_ r = 2 5 m r² a r² a= 5 7 g R-r = 5 g 7(R-r) T=2 7(R-r) 5 r
