MCQ

A simple pendulum is hanging from a peg inserted in a vertical wall. Its bob is stretched in horizontal position from the wall and is left free to move. The bob hits on the wall the coefficient of restitution is $\frac{2}{{\sqrt 5 }}$. After how many collisions the amplitude of vibration will become less than $60°$

A
$6$
✓
$3$
C
$5$
D
$4$

Answer

Correct option: B.

$3$

b
(b) From the relation of restitution $\frac{{{h_n}}}{{{h_0}}} = {e^{2n}}$ and
${h_n} = {h_0}(1 - \cos 60^\circ )$

$⇒$ $\frac{{{h_n}}}{{{h_0}}} = 1 - \cos 60^\circ = {\left( {\frac{2}{{\sqrt 5 }}} \right)^{2n}}$
$⇒$ $1 - \frac{1}{2} = {\left( {\frac{4}{5}} \right)^n}$

$⇒$ $\frac{1}{2} = {\left( {\frac{4}{5}} \right)^n}$
Taking log of both sides we get
$\log 1 - \log 2 = n(\log 4 - \log 5)$
$0 - 0.3010 = n(0.6020 - 0.6990)$
$ - \,0.3010 = - n \times 0.097$

==> $n = \frac{{0.3010}}{{0.097}} = 3.1 \approx 3$

A metre scale is moving with uniform velocity. This implies:

The force acting on the scale is zero, but a torque about the centre of mass can act on the scale.
The force acting on the scale is zero and the torque acting about centre of mass of the scale is also zero.
The total force acting on it need not be zero but the torque on it is zero.
Neither the force nor the torque need to be zero.
