1
its displacement be of its amplitude..

through the centre of line is 18 cm s–1. Find the time period.
3. Find the period of vibrating particle (SHM), which has accelesation of 45

cm s–2, when displacement from mean position is 5 cm
4. A 40 gm mass produces on extension of 4 cm in a vertical spring. A mass

of 200 gm is suspended at its bottom and left pulling down. Calculate the
frequency of its vibration.
5. The acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the moon is 1.7 ms–2.
What is the time period of a simple pendulum on the moon, if its time
period on the earth is 3.5 s? [g = 9.8 ms–2]
6. Calculate the energy possessed by stone of mass 200 g executing S.H.M

of amplitude 1 cm and time period 4s.
7. A particle executes S.H.M of amplitude 25 cm and time period 3s. What

is the minimum time required for the particle to move between two points
12.5 cm on eitherside of the mean position?
8. The vertical motion of a huge piston in a machine is approximately S.H.M

with a frequency of 0.5 s–1. A block of 10kg is placed on the piston. What
is the maximum amplitude of the piston's S.H.M. for the block and piston
to remain together?
9. At what temperature will the speed of sound be double its value at 273°K?
10. A spring balance has a scale that reads from 0 to 50 kg. The length of the
scale is 20 cm. A body suspended from this spring, when displaced and
released, oscillates with a period of 0.60 s. What is the weight of the body?
11. A steel wire 80 cm long has a mess 8 mg. If the wire is under tension of
400 N, what is the speed of transverse waves in the wire?
12. You are riding in an automobile of mass 3000 kg. Assuming that you are
examining the oscillation characteristics of its suspension system. The
suspension sags 15 cm when the entire automobile is placed on it. Also,
the amplitude of oscillation decreases by 50% during one complete
oscillation, Estimate the values of (a) the spring constant and (b) the
damping constant ‘b’ for the spring and shock absorber system of one
wheel assuming that each wheel supports 750 kg.

string, how long does the disturbance take to reach the other end?
14. A steel wire has a length of 12.0 m and a mass of 2.10 kg. What should
be the tension in the wire so that the speed of a transverse wave on the
wire equals the speed of sound in day air at 20°C (is equal to 343 ms–1)?
15. The equation of a plane progressive wave is given by the equation

y = 10 sin 2 (t – 0.005x) where y and x are in cm and t in seconds.
Calculate the amplitude, frequency, wave length and velocity of the wave.
16. Find the frequency of note emitted (fundamental note) by a string 1m long
and stretched by a load of 20 kg, if this string weighs 4.9 g. Given,
g = 980 cms–2
17. A pipe 20 cm long is closed at one end, which harmonic mode of the pipe
is resonantly excited by a 430 Hz source? Will this same source can be
in resonance with the pipe, if both ends are open? Speed of sound = 340
ms–1
18. One end of a long string of linear mass density 8.0 × 10–3 kg m–1 is
connected to an electrically driven tunning folk of frequency 256 Hz. The
other end passes over a pulley and is tied to a pan containing a mass of
90 kg. The pulley end absorbs all the incoming energy so that reflected
waves at this end have negligible amplitude. At t = 0, the left end of the
string x = 0 has zero transverse displacement (y = 0) and is moving along
positive x direction. The amplitude of wave is 5.0 cm. Write down the
transverse displacement y as function of x and t that describes the wave
on the string.
