The center of a disk of radius $r$ and mass $m$ is attached to a spring of spring constant $k$,inside a ring of radius $R > r$ as shown in the figure. The other end of the spring is attached on the periphery of the ring. Both the ring and the disk are in the same vertical plane. The disk can only roll along the inside periphery of the ring,without slipping. The spring can only be stretched or compressed along the periphery of the ring,following Hooke's law. In equilibrium,the disk is at the bottom of the ring. Assuming small displacement of the disc,the time period of oscillation of the center of mass of the disk is written as $T = \frac{2 \pi}{\omega}$. The correct expression for $\omega$ is ($g$ is the acceleration due to gravity):

  • A
    $\sqrt{\frac{2}{3}\left(\frac{g}{R-r}+\frac{k}{m}\right)}$
  • B
    $\sqrt{\frac{2 g}{3(R-r)}+\frac{k}{m}}$
  • C
    $\sqrt{\frac{1}{6}\left(\frac{g}{R-r}+\frac{k}{m}\right)}$
  • D
    $\sqrt{\frac{1}{4}\left(\frac{g}{R-r}+\frac{k}{m}\right)}$

Two masses $m$ and $\frac{m}{2}$ are connected at the two ends of a massless rigid rod of length $l$. The rod is suspended by a thin wire of torsional constant $k$ at the centre of mass of the rod-mass system (see figure). Because of the torsional constant $k$,the restoring torque is $\tau = k\theta$ for an angular displacement $\theta$. If the rod is rotated by $\theta_0$ and released,the tension in it when it passes through its mean position will be

$Assertion :$ In simple harmonic motion,the velocity is maximum when the acceleration is minimum.
$Reason :$ Displacement and velocity of $S.H.M.$ differ in phase by $\frac{\pi }{2}$.

$A$ mass of $5\, {kg}$ is connected to a spring. The potential energy curve of the simple harmonic motion executed by the system is shown in the figure. $A$ simple pendulum of length $4\, {m}$ has the same period of oscillation as the spring system. What is the value of acceleration due to gravity on the planet where these experiments are performed? (In ${m} / {s}^{2}$)
