A tunnel has been dug through the centre of the earth and a ball is released in it. It will reach the other end of the tunnel after
A$84.6$ minutes
B$42.3$ minutes

B$42.3$ minutes
b (b) Ball execute $S.H.M.$ inside the tunnel with time period $T = 2\pi \sqrt {\frac{R}{g}} = 84.63\;\min $
Hence time to reach the ball from one end to the other end of the tunnel $t = \frac{{84.63}}{2} = 42.3\;\min .$

A hollow sphere is filled with water through a small hole in it. It is then hung by a long thread and made to oscillate. As the water slowly flows out of the hole at the bottom, the period of oscillation will
The angular frequency of a spring block system is $\omega _0.$ This system is suspended from the ceiling of an elevator moving downwards with a constant speed $v_0.$ The block is at rest relative to the elevator. Lift is suddenly stopped. Assuming the downwards as a positive direction, choose the wrong statement :
The graph shown was obtained from experimental measurements of the period of oscillations $T$ for different masses $M$ placed in the scale pan on the lower end of the spring balance. The most likely reason for the line not passing through the origin is that the
A heavy small-sized sphere is suspended by a string of length $l$. The sphere rotates uniformly in a horizontal circle with the string making an angle $\theta $ with the vertical. Then the time period of this conical pendulum is
A particle executes $SHM$ of period $1.2\, sec$ and amplitude $8\, cm.$ Find the time it takes to travel $3\,cm$ from the positive extremity of its oscillation. ..... $\sec$
Two simple harmonic motions are represented by equations ${y_1} = 4\,\sin \,\left( {10t + \phi } \right)$ and ${y_2} = 5\,\cos \,10\,t$ What is the phase difference between their velocities?
A simple pendulum of length $1\, m$ is oscillating with an angular frequency $10\, rad/s$. The support of the pendulum starts oscillating up and down with a small angular frequency of $1\, rad/s$ and an amplitude of $10^{-2}\, m$. The relative change in the angular frequency of the pendulum is best given by
A body of mass $5\; kg$ hangs from a spring and oscillates with a time period of $2\pi $ seconds. If the ball is removed, the length of the spring will decrease by
