1. ⇒  (MHT CET 2023 13th May Morning Shift )

A simple pendulum has a time period ' T ' in air. Its time period when it is completely immersed in a liquid of density one eighth the density of the material of bob is

A. ( 7 8 ) T

B. ( 5 8 ) T

C. ( 3 8 ) T

D. ( 8 7 ) T

Correct Option is (D)

Time period of simple pendulum T = 2 π l   g

T 1 g

Net downward force acting on the bob inside the liquid = Weight of bob Upthrust

Vpg V ρ ρ g = 7 8   V ρ g

The value of g inside the liquid will be g 8

Time period in liquid T 1 = 1 2 π l 7 8 = 8 7   T

2. ⇒  (MHT CET 2023 12th May Evening Shift )

In a stationary lift, time period of a simple pendulum is ' T '. The lift starts accelerating downwards with acceleration ( g 4 ) , then the time period of the pendulum will be

A. 3 2   T

B. 2 3   T

C. 3 4   T

D. 4 3   T

Correct Option is (B)

Time period of pendulum: T = 2 π L g

When lift is accelerated downward with acceleration g 4 ,

g = g g 4 g = 3 g 4

New Time period will be

T 1 = 2 π 4 L 3 g T 1 = 2 π 2 3 L g T 1 = 2 3 T

3. ⇒  (MHT CET 2023 12th May Morning Shift )

A simple pendulum performs simple harmonic motion about x = 0 with an amplitude ' a ' and time period ' T '. The speed of the pendulum at x = a 2 is

A. π a T

B. 3 π 2 a T

C. π a 3   T

D. π a 3 2

Correct Option is (C)

v = ω a 2 x 2  At  x = a 2 , v = ω a 2 a 2 4 = ω 3 a 2 = 2 π T × 3 a 2 . . . . . ( ω = 2 π T ) v = π a 3   T

4. ⇒  (MHT CET 2023 11th May Morning Shift )

The time period of a simple pendulum inside a stationary lift is ' T '. When the lift starts accelerating upwards with an acceleration ( g 3 ) , the time period of the pendulum will be

A. 5 2   T

B. 3 2   T

C. 2   T 3

D. 2   T 5

Correct Option is (B)

Time period of a simple pendulum is T = 2 π ( l a )

In stationary lift, the value of acceleration is a = g

T = 2 π ( l   g )

When the lift is accelerating in an upward direction, there is a pseudo force acting in a downward direction.

ma = mg + mg 3 a = g + g 3 a = 4   g 3

Period for a pendulum in accelerating lift is

T = 2 π l a = 2 π 3 l 4   g T = 3 2 ( 2 π l   g ) T = 3 2   T

5. ⇒  (MHT CET 2023 10th May Morning Shift )

A. 1   cm

B. 2   cm

C. 3   cm

D. 4   cm

Correct Option is (B)

 Given  : K E = P E + 25 100 P E K E = P E + 1 4 P E  We know K.E  = 1 2   m ω 2 (   A 2 x 2 )  and P.E  = 1 2   m ω 2 x 2 K E = 5 4 P E 1 2   m ω 2 (   A 2 x 2 ) = 5 4 ( 1 2   m ω 2 x 2 ) A 2 x 2 = 5 4 x 2   A 2 = 9 4 x 2   A = 3 2 x x = A × 2 3 = 2   cm
