$A$ 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).

  • A
    $1.97$
  • B
    $3.54$
  • C
    $4.67$
  • D
    $0.28$

$A$ $U$-tube of a uniform bore has its arms vertical. The total length of the liquid in the two arms of the $U$-tube is $L$. The time period $T$ of the oscillation of the liquid column when it is displaced by $y$ is ($g$ = acceleration due to gravity).

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.)
