$A$ block of mass $(10 \alpha) \text{ g}$,where $\alpha$ is a constant,is moving with velocity $3 \text{ m/s}$ to the right. It collides inelastically with a block on the right of mass $10 \text{ g}$ and sticks to it. The right block is connected to three springs as shown in the figure. The spring constant of each spring is $k = 2 \text{ N/m}$. If the amplitude of the resulting simple harmonic motion is $A = \frac{1}{2\sqrt{2}} \text{ m}$,then the value of $\alpha$ is:

  • A
    $5$
  • B
    $2.5$
  • C
    $7$
  • D
    $10$

$A$ block is placed on a horizontal plank. The plank is performing $SHM$ along a vertical line with an amplitude of $40 \, cm$. The block just loses contact with the plank when the plank is momentarily at rest. Then:

You are holding a shallow circular container of radius $R$,filled with water to a height $h$ $(h \ll R)$. When you walk with speed $v$,it is seen that water starts spilling over. This happens due to the resonance of the periodic impulse given to the container (due to walking) with the oscillation of the water in the container. If the time period of water oscillating in the container is inversely proportional to $\sqrt{h}$,then $v$ is proportional to
