pendulum made of a uniform wire of cross sectional area $A$ has time period $T$. When an additional mass $M$ is added to its bob, the time period changes to $T_M$. If the Young's modulus of the material of the wire is $Y$ then $\frac{1}{Y}$ is equal to : ($g$ = gravitational acceleration)

As we know, time period, $T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{\ell}{g}}$

$ When\, additional \,mass \mathrm\,{M}$ is added then

$\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{M}}=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{\ell+\Delta \ell}{\mathrm{g}}}$

$T_{\frac{M}{T}}=\sqrt{\frac{\ell+\Delta \ell}{\ell}}$ or $\left(\frac{T_{M}}{T}\right)^{2}=\frac{\ell+\Delta \ell}{\ell}$

or, $\left(\frac{T_{M}}{T}\right)^{2}=1+\frac{M g}{A y}\left[\because \Delta \ell=\frac{M g \ell}{A y}\right]$

$\therefore \frac{1}{y}=\left[\left(\frac{T_{M}}{T}\right)^{2}-1\right] \frac{A}{M g}$

    A mass $m = 1.0\,kg$ is put on a flat pan attached to a vertical spring fixed on the ground. The mass of the spring and the pan is negligible. When pressed slightly and released, the mass executes simple harmonic motion. The spring constant is $500\,N/m.$ What is the amplitude $A$ of the motion, so that the mass $m$ tends to get detached from the pan ? (Take $g = 10\,m/s^2$ ). The spring is stiff enough so that it does not get distorted during the motion.
