Question
A torsional pendulum consists of a solid disc connected to a thin wire$\Big(\alpha=2.4\times10^{-5}\ ^\circ\text{C}^{-1}\Big)$at its centre. Find the percentage change in the time period between peak winter $(5^\circ C)$ and peak summer $(45^\circ C)$.

Answer

Let the initial m.I. at 0°C be $\text{I}_0$
$\text{T}=2\pi\sqrt\frac{\text{I}}{\text{K}}$
$\text{I}=\text{I}_0(1+2\alpha\Delta\theta)$ (from above question)
At 5°C, $\text{T}_1=2\pi\sqrt\frac{\text{I}_0(1+2\alpha\Delta\theta)}{\text{K}}$
$=2\pi\sqrt\frac{\text{I}_0(1+2\alpha\Delta5)}{\text{k}}$
$=2\pi\sqrt\frac{\text{I}_0(1+10\alpha)}{\text{K}}$
At $45^\circ$ C, $\text{T}_2=2\pi\sqrt\frac{\text{I}_0(1+2\alpha45)}{\text{K}}$
$2\pi\sqrt\frac{\text{I}_0(1+90\alpha)}{\text{K}}$
$\frac{\text{T}_2}{\text{T}_1}=\sqrt\frac{1+90\alpha}{1+10\alpha}$
$=\sqrt\frac{1+90\times2.4\times10^{-5}}{1+10\times2.4\times10^{-5}}\sqrt\frac{1.00216}{1.00024}$
% change $=\Big(\frac{\text{T}_2}{\text{T}_1}-1\Big)\times100$
$=0.0959\%=9.6\times10^{-2}\%$

Two particles, each with mass m are placed at a separation d in a uniform magnetic field B, as shown in the figure. They have opposite charges of equal magnitude q. At time t = 0, the particles are projected towards each other, each with a speed v. Suppose the Coulomb force between the charges is switched off.
  1. Find the maximum value $v_m$ of the projection speed, so that the two particles do not collide.
  2. What would be the minimum and maximum separation between the particles if $\text{v}=\text{v}_{\text{m}}\sqrt{2}?$
  3. At what instant will a collision occur between the particles if $v = 2v_m?$
  4. Suppose $v = 2v_m$ and the collision between the particles is completely inelastic. Describe the motion after the collision.
