Class Exercise - 3
A hollow metallic bob is filled with water and hung by a long thread. A small hole is drilled at the bottom through which water slowly flows out. The period of oscillations of sphere
(a) decreases(b) increases(c) remains constant(d) first increases and then decreases
Solution
As the water slowly flows out, the centre of gravity moves down. So the length increases and hence T increases. After half the sphere is empty, the centre of gravity begins to move up. So the length decreases and hence T decreases.
Hence, answer is (d).

A spring has a spring constant K. It is cut into two equal lengths and the two cut pieces are connected in parallel. Then the spring constant of the parallel combination is
(a) K (b) 2K
(c) 4K (d) K
2
Solution
Spring constant of cut pieces
K´ = 2K
Now parallel combination of these results in a spring constant.
K 2K 2K
= 4K
Hence, answer is (c).

Now let K´ be new spring constant. Then
K 9K´
or K´ = 9K
Hence, answer is (a).

Solution
When we displace the body from its mean position, we see the extension in all the springs is same. So the combination is parallel.
Hence answer is (a).
Class Exercise - 10

Solution
X = X1 + X2
= A sint + A cost
2A sin t4
So the time period = 2
Hence, answer is (a).
