MCQ
A flat horizontal board moves up and down under $S.H.M.$ vertically with amplitude $A$. The shortest permissible time period of the vibration such that an object placed on the board may not lose contact with the board is ..........
  • A
    $2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{g}{A}}$
  • $2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{A}{g}}$
  • C
    $2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{2 A}{g}}$
  • D
    $\frac{\pi}{2} \sqrt{\frac{A}{g}}$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{A}{g}}$
b
(b)

Maximum acceleration of the system $\left(a_{\max }\right)=-\omega^2 A$

For a block to escape the board the acceleration must be equal to 9 at the top-most point.

$g=\omega^2 A$

$\omega=\sqrt{\frac{g}{A}}$

Time period $=\frac{2 \pi}{\omega}=\sqrt{\frac{A}{g}}$

A mass of $50\,g$ of water in a closed vessel, with surroundings at a constant temperature takes $2\, minutes$ to cool from $30\,^oC$ to $25\,^oC$. A mass of $100\,g$ of another liquid in an identical vessel with identical surroundings takes the same time to cool from $30\,^oC$ to $25\,^o C$.
