Assume that a tunnel is dug along a chord of the earth, at a perpendicular distance (\(R/2\)) from the earth's center, where '\(R\)' is the radius of the Earth. The wall of the tunnel is frictionless. If a particle is released in this tunnel, it will execute a simple harmonic motion with a time period :
1. \(\frac{2 \pi R}{g} \)
2. \(\frac{\mathrm{g}}{2 \pi \mathrm{R}} \)
3. \(\frac{1}{2 \pi} \sqrt{\frac{g}{R}} \)
4. \(2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{R}{g}} \)
When two displacements are represented by \(y_1 = a \text{sin}(\omega t)\) and \(y_2 = b\text{cos}(\omega t)\) are superimposed, then the motion is:
| 1. | not simple harmonic. |
| 2. | simple harmonic with amplitude \(\dfrac{a}{b}\). |
| 3. | simple harmonic with amplitude \(\sqrt{a^2+b^{2}}.\) |
| 4. | simple harmonic with amplitude \(\dfrac{a+b}{2}\). |
A particle is performing SHM with amplitude \(A\) and angular velocity \(\omega.\) The ratio of the magnitude of maximum velocity to maximum acceleration is:
1. \(\omega\)
2. \(\dfrac{1}{\omega }\)
3. \(\omega^{2} \)
4. \(A\omega\)
| 1. | \(\pi\) | 2. | \(\pi/2\) |
| 3. | \(2\pi\) | 4. | \(\pi/4\) |
