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

  • A
    $\frac{3k\theta_0^2}{l}$
  • B
    $\frac{2k\theta_0^2}{l}$
  • C
    $\frac{k\theta_0^2}{l}$
  • D
    $\frac{k\theta_0^2}{2l}$

$A$ body performs linear $S$.$H$.$M$. with amplitude $a$. When it is at a distance $\frac{a}{3}$ from the extreme position,the magnitude of velocity is $\frac{1}{3}$ times the magnitude of acceleration. The period of $S$.$H$.$M$. is:

Two springs with negligible masses and force constants $K_1 = 200\, Nm^{-1}$ and $K_2 = 160\, Nm^{-1}$ are attached to a block of mass $m = 10\, kg$ as shown in the figure. Initially,the block is at rest at the equilibrium position where both springs are neither stretched nor compressed. At time $t = 0$,a sharp impulse of $50\, Ns$ is given to the block with a hammer.
