JEE Main & Advanced Physics Elasticity Question Bank Youngs Modulus and Breaking Stress

  • question_answer
    A pan with set of weights is attached with a light spring. When disturbed, the mass-spring system oscillates with a time period of 0.6 s. When some additional weights are added then time period is 0.7s. The extension caused by the additional weights is approximately given by         [UPSEAT 2002]

    A) 1.38 cm

    B)                      3.5 cm

    C)             1.75 cm          

    D)             2.45 cm

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                    \[2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}=0.6\]  ?(i)  and \[2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m+m'}{k}}=0.7\]   ?(ii) Dividing (ii) by (i) we get \[{{\left( \frac{7}{6} \right)}^{2}}=\frac{m+m'}{m}=\frac{49}{36}\]             \[\frac{m+m'}{m}-1=\frac{49}{36}-1\Rightarrow \frac{m'}{m}=\frac{13}{36}\]Þ \[m'=\frac{13m}{36}\] Also \[\frac{k}{m}=\frac{4{{\pi }^{2}}}{{{(0.6)}^{2}}}\] Desired extension\[=\frac{m'g}{k}\]\[=\frac{13}{36}\times \frac{mg}{k}\]             \[=\frac{13}{36}\times 10\times \frac{0.36}{4{{\pi }^{2}}}\approx 3.5\ cm\]
