A pendulum made of a uniform wire of cross-sectional area A has time period T. When an additional mass M is added to its Bob, the time period changes TM. If Young's modulus of the material of the wire is Y, then 1/Y is equal to (g = gravitational acceleration)

  • open square brackets open parentheses straight T subscript straight M over straight T close parentheses squared minus 1 close square brackets straight A over Mg
  • open square brackets open parentheses straight T subscript straight M over straight T close parentheses squared minus 1 close square brackets Mg over straight A
  • open square brackets 1 minus space open parentheses straight T subscript straight M over straight T close parentheses squared close square brackets straight A over Mg
  • open square brackets 1 minus space open parentheses straight T subscript straight M over straight T close parentheses squared close square brackets Mg over straight A

Solution

A.

open square brackets open parentheses straight T subscript straight M over straight T close parentheses squared minus 1 close square brackets straight A over Mg

Time period, straight T space equals space 2 straight pi square root of straight L over straight g end root
When additional mass M is added to its Bob
straight T subscript straight M space equals space 2 straight pi square root of fraction numerator straight L plus increment straight L over denominator straight g end fraction end root comma where Δ is increase in length

Question
CBSEENPH11020308

A wooden wheel of radius R is made of two semicircular parts (see figure); The two parts are held together by a ring made of a metal strip of cross sectional area S and length L. L is slightly less than 2πR. To fit the ring on the wheel, it is heated so that it temperature rises by ∆T and it just steps over the wheel. As it cools down to surrounding temperature, it presses the semicircular parts together. If the coefficient of linear expansion of the metal is α, and its Youngs'modulus is Y, the force that one part of the wheel applies on the other part is :
