In the figure is shown a small block B of mass m resting on a smooth horizontal floor and the block is attached to an ideal spring (of force constant k). The spring is attached to vertical wall W1. At a distance d from the block, right side of it, is present the vertical wall W2. Now, the block is compressed by a distance 5d/3 and released. It starts oscillating. If the  collision of the block with W2 are perfectly elastic, the time period of oscillation of the  block is

 absence of wall W2, the time period of block would have been  But due to the presence of W2, it alters. But for the left part of oscillation (from the mean position shown), the period will be 

For the right side part, d = A sinω t [from x = A sinω t ] 

This is the time taken by the block to reach W2 from mean position. Collision with W2 is perfectly elastic (given).

Test: Simple Harmonic Motion - Question 5

Two simple pendulums of length 1m and 25 m, respectively, are both given small displacements in the same direction at the same instant.If they are in phase after the shorter pendulum has completed n oscillation, n is equal to 

Detailed Solution for Test: Simple Harmonic Motion - Question 5

∴ T ∝ √L , as time period decreases when the length of pendulum decreases, the time period of shorter pendulum (Ts) is smaller than that of longer pendulum (Tl). That means shorter pendulum performs more oscillations in a given time.

  It is given that after n oscillations of shorter pendulum, both are again in phase. So, by this time longer pendulum must have made (n – 1) oscillations. 

So, the two pendulum shall be in the same phase for the first time when the shorter pendulum has 
completed 5/4  oscillation

For x<0
F = −dU/dx = −kx
ma = −kx
or a = −kx/m
−ω21x = −kx/m
ω1 = (√k/m)
T1 = 2π(√m/k)
For x>0 U = mgx
F = −dv/dx = −mg
But E = 1/2mv20
v0 = (√2E/m)
It is speed at lowest point
T2 = 2v0/g
= 2/g(√2E/m)
T = T1/2 + T2
= π(√m/k) + 2/g(√2E/m)

Test: Simple Harmonic Motion - Question 11

A particle of mass 0.1 kg is executing SHM of amplitude 0.1 m. When the particle passes through the mean position, its KE is 8 ×10-3 J. Find the equation of motion of the particle if the initial phase of oscillation is 45˚

Detailed Solution for Test: Simple Harmonic Motion - Question 11

Given:
 Mass of the particle, m = 0.1 kg
 Amplitude of SHM, A = 0.1 m
 Kinetic energy at mean position, K.E. = 8×10−3J
 Initial phase of oscillation, ϕ = 45


The kinetic energy at the mean position is given by the formula:
KE = 1/2 mv2
At the mean position, the velocity v is maximum and is given by:
vmax = Aω
Substituting this into the kinetic energy formula gives:
K.E. = 1/2 m (Aω)2


Substituting the known values into the kinetic energy equation:
8×10−3 = 1/2 × 0.1 × (0.1ω)2
This simplifies to:
8 × 10−3 = 0.005 × (0.01ω2)
8 × 10−3 = 5 × 10−5 ω2
Now, solving for ω2:
ω= 8 × 10−3 / 5 × 10−5 = 160
Thus,
ω = √160 = 4 radians/second


The general equation of motion for SHM is given by:
x(t) = A sin(ωt+ϕ)
Substituting the values of A, ω, and ϕ:
Convert ϕ from degrees to radians:
ϕ = 45∘ = π/4 radians
Thus, the equation becomes:
x(t) = 0.1 sin(4t+π/4)
