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

  • A
    $R$
  • B
    $\sqrt{R}$
  • C
    $1 / \sqrt{R}$
  • D
    $1 / R$

$A$ person normally weighing $50\, kg$ stands on a massless platform which oscillates up and down harmonically at a frequency of $2.0\, s^{-1}$ and an amplitude $5.0\, cm$. $A$ weighing machine on the platform gives the person's weight against time.
$(a)$ Will there be any change in the weight of the body during the oscillation?
$(b)$ If the answer to part $(a)$ is yes,what will be the maximum and minimum reading on the machine and at which positions?

An oscillator of mass $M$ is at rest in its equilibrium position in a potential $V = \frac{1}{2}k(x - X)^2$. $A$ particle of mass $m$ comes from the right with speed $u$ and collides completely inelastically with $M$ and sticks to it. This process repeats every time the oscillator crosses its equilibrium position. The amplitude of oscillations after $13$ collisions is: $(M = 10, m = 5, u = 1, k = 1)$.

The figure shows a graph between velocity $(v)$ and displacement $(x)$ from the mean position of a particle performing $SHM$.

Match $List-I$ with $List-II$:

| $(b)$ | Linear graph $y = -kx$ | $(ii)$ | Bob of a pendulum is oscillating under negligible air friction |
| $(c)$ | Simple harmonic motion graph | $(iii)$ | Restoring force of a spring |
| $(d)$ | Energy conservation graph ($K$.$E$. and $P$.$E$. curves) | $(iv)$ | Bob of a pendulum is oscillating along with air friction |
