    $\sqrt{\frac{R}{g}}$
  • B
    $\sqrt{\frac{r}{g}}$
  • C
    $\sqrt{\frac{R-r}{g}}$
  • D

$A$ bead of mass $m$ is attached to the mid-point of a taut,weightless string of length $l$ and placed on a frictionless horizontal table. Under a small transverse displacement $x$,as shown in the figure,if the tension in the string is $T$,then the frequency of oscillation is:

Under the influence of force $F_1$,a body oscillates with a period $T_1$,and due to another force $F_2$,the body oscillates with a period $T_2$. If both forces act simultaneously,what is the resultant period? (Consider the displacement is the same in all three cases.)

$A$ circular disc of mass $10 \; kg$ is suspended by a wire attached to its centre. The wire is twisted by rotating the disc and released. The period of torsional oscillations is found to be $1.5 \; s$. The radius of the disc is $15 \; cm$. Determine the torsional spring constant of the wire in $N \; m \; rad^{-1}$. (Torsional spring constant $\alpha$ is defined by the relation $J = -\alpha \theta$,where $J$ is the restoring couple and $\theta$ is the angle of twist).
