A simple pendulum is attached to a block which slides without friction down an inclined plane $A B C$ having an angle of inclination $\alpha$ as shown below. While the block is sliding down the pendulum oscillates in such a way that at its mean position the direction of the string is
  • Aat angle $\alpha$ to the perpendicular to the inclined plane $A C$
  • Bparallel to the inclined plane $A C$
  • C
    vertically downwards
  • Dperpendicular to the inclined plane $A C$

    $A$ particle of mass m is constrained to move on $x$ -axis. $A$ force $F$ acts on the particle. $F$ always points toward the position labeled $E$. For example, when the particle is to the left of $E, F$ points to the right. The magnitude of $F$ is a constant $F$ except at point $E$ where it is zero. The system is horizontal. $F$ is the net force acting on the particle. The particle is displaced a distance $A$ towards left from the equilibrium position $E$ and released from rest at $t = 0.$ Find minimum time it will take to reach from $x = - \frac{A}{2}$ to $0$.

    Two particles are performing simple harmonic motion in a straight line about the same equilibrium point. The amplitude and time period for both particles are same and equal to $A$ and $T,$  respectively. At time $t=0$ one particle has displacement $A$ while the other one has displacement $\frac {-A}{2}$ and they are moving towards each other. If they cross each other at time $t,$ then $t$ is

    A massless spring $(k = 800\, N/m)$, attached with a mass $(500\, g)$ is completely immersed in $1\, kg$ of water. The spring is stretched by $2\, cm$ and released so that it starts vibrating. What would be the order of magnitude of the change in the temperature of water when the vibrations stop completely? (Assume that the water container and spring receive negligible heat and specific heat of mass $= 400\, J/kg\, K$, specific heat of water $= 4184\, J/kg\, K$)
