उत्तर
L2 = L1 - 0.20
T2 = T1 - 10%T1
`T=2pisqrt(l/g)`
`:.TpropsqrtL`
`:.T_1/T_2=sqrt(L_1/L_2)`
`T_1/(0.9T_1)=sqrt(L_1/(L_1-0.2))`
Squaring both side
`1/0.81=L_1/(L_1-0.2)`
L1-0.2=0.81L1
∴L1-0.81L1=0.2
0.19L1 = 0.2
`L_1=0.20/0.19`
L1=1.053m

A spring having with a spring constant 1200 N m–1 is mounted on a horizontal table as shown in Fig. A mass of 3 kg is attached to the free end of the spring. The mass is then pulled sideways to a distance of 2.0 cm and released.

Determine (i) the frequency of oscillations, (ii) maximum acceleration of the mass, and (iii) the maximum speed of the mass.
let us take the position of mass when the spring is unstretched as x = 0, and the direction from left to right as the positive direction of the x-axis. Give x as a function of time t for the oscillating mass if at the moment we start the stopwatch (t = 0), the mass is
(a) at the mean position,
(b) at the maximum stretched position, and
(c) at the maximum compressed position.

The acceleration due to gravity on the surface of moon is 1.7 ms–2. What is the time period of a simple pendulum on the surface of moon if its time period on the surface of earth is 3.5 s? (g on the surface of earth is 9.8 ms–2)
Answer the following questions:
A time period of a particle in SHM depends on the force constant k and mass m of the particle: `T = 2pi sqrt(m/k)` A simple pendulum executes SHM approximately. Why then is the time
Answer the following questions:
The motion of a simple pendulum is approximately simple harmonic for small angle oscillations. For larger angles of oscillation, a more involved analysis shows that T is greater than `2pisqrt(1/g)` Think of a qualitative argument to appreciate this result.

A mass attached to a spring is free to oscillate, with angular velocity ω, in a horizontal plane without friction or damping. It is pulled to a distance x0 and pushed towards the centre with a velocity v0 at time t = 0. Determine the amplitude of the resulting oscillations in terms of the parameters ω, x0 and v0. [Hint: Start with the equation x = acos (ωt+θ) and note that the initial velocity is negative.]
