Question 2.

Answer in brief.

i) Define linear simple harmonic motion.

It is defined as the linear periodic motion of a body, in which the force (or acceleration) is always directed towards the mean position and its magnitude is proportional to the displacement from the mean position. OR

A particle is said to execute linear SHM if the particle undergoes oscillations about a point of stable equilibrium, subject to a linear restoring force always directed towards that point and whose magnitude is proportional to the magnitude of the displacement of the particle from that point.

  • Examples : The vibrations of the tines (prongs) of a tuning fork, the oscillations of the needle of a sewing machine.

[collapse]

ii) Using differential equation of linear S.H.M, obtain the expression for (a) velocity in S.H.M., (b) acceleration in S.H.M.

The general expression for the displacement of a particle in SHM at time t is

x = A sin(ωt + α) ….. (1)

where A and ω is a constant in a particular case and α is the initial phase.

The velocity of the particle is 

\(v=\frac{dx}{dt}=\frac{d}{dt}[A sin(ωt + α)]\)

= ωA cos(ωt + α)

= \(ωA\sqrt{1-sin^2(ωt + α)}\)

From Eq. (1), sin(ωt + α) = x/A

\(v=ωA\sqrt{1-\frac{x^2}{A^2}}\)

∴ \(v=ω\sqrt{A^2-x^2}\)  …… (2)

Equation (2) gives the velocity as a function of x

The acceleration of the particle is

a= \(\frac{dv}{dt}=\frac{d}{dt}\)[Aω cos(ωt + α)]

∴ a = − ω2A sin(ωt + α)

But from Eq. (1),  A sin(ωt + α) = x

∴ a = − ω2x  ……. (3)

Equation (3) gives the acceleration as a function of x. The minus sign shows that the direction of the acceleration is opposite to that of the displacement.

iii) Obtain the expression for the period of a simple pendulum performing S.H.M.

Consider a simple pendulum of length L, suspended from a rigid support O. When displaced from its initial position of rest through a small angle q in a vertical plane and released, it performs oscillations between two extremes, B and C, as shown in Fig.

At what distance from the mean position is the kinetic energy of the particle performing SHM of amplitude 8cm three times its potential energy?

At B, the forces on the bob are its weight mg and the tension T’  in the string. Resolve mg into two components : mg cos θ in the direction opposite to that of the tension and mg sin θ perpendicular to the string.

mg cos θ is balanced by the tension in the string.

mg sin θ restores the bob to the equilibrium position.

Restoring force, F = − mg sin θ

If θ is small and expressed in radian,

sin θ  » θ = \(\frac{arc}{radius}=\frac{AB}{OB} =\frac{x}{L}\)

∴ F = − mgθ = − mg\(\frac{x}{L}\)     ….(1)

Since m, g and L are constant,

∴ F ∝ (−x)  …….(2)

Thus, the net force on the bob is in the direction opposite to that of displacement x of the bob from its mean position as indicated by the minus sign, and the magnitude of the force is proportional to the magnitude of the displacement. Hence, it follows that the motion of a simple pendulum is linear SHM.

Acceleration, a = F/m =  \(\frac{g}{L}x\)  ......(3)

Therefore, acceleration per unit displacement

\(\left | \frac{a}{x} \right |=\frac{g}{L} \)

Period of SHM,

T = \(\frac{2π}{\sqrt{\text{acceleration per unit displacement}}}=\frac{2π}{\sqrt{g/L}}\)

∴ T = \(2π\sqrt{L/g}\)

This gives the expression for the period of a simple pendulum.

[collapse]

iv) State the laws of simple pendulum.

The period of a simple pendulum at a given place is

T = \(2π\sqrt{L/g}\)

where L is the length of the simple pendulum and g is the acceleration due to gravity at that place. From the above expression, the laws of simple pendulum are as follows

Law of length :The period of a simple pendulum at a given place (g constant) is directly proportional to the square root of its length. T ∝ \(\sqrt{L}\)

Law of mass :The period of a simple pendulum does not depend on the mass or material of the bob of the pendulum.

Law of acceleration due to gravity : The period of a simple pendulum of a given length (L constant) is inversely proportional to the square root of the acceleration due to gravity. T ∝ \(\sqrt{\frac{1}{g}}\)

Law of isochronism :The period of a simple pendulum does not depend on the amplitude of oscillations, provided that the amplitude is small.

v) Prove that under certain conditions a magnet vibrating in uniform magnetic field performs angular S.H.M.

Consider a bar magnet of magnetic moment μ, suspended horizontally by a light twistless fibre in a region where the horizontal component of the Earth's magnetic field is B. The bar magnet is free to rotate in a horizontal plane. It comes to rest in approximately the North—South direction, along B.

At what distance from the mean position is the kinetic energy of the particle performing SHM of amplitude 8cm three times its potential energy?

If it is rotated in the horizontal plane by a small displacement θ from its rest position (θ =0),the suspension fibre is twisted. When the magnet is released, it oscillates about the rest position in angular or torsional oscillation.

The bar magnet experiences a torque r due to the field B. Which tends to restore it to its original orientation parallel to B. For small θ, this restoring torque is

τ = −μB sin θ = −μBθ ...(1)

where the minus sign indicates that the torque is opposite in direction to the angular displacement θ.

Equation (1) shows that the torque (and hence the angular acceleration) is directly proportional in magnitude of the angular displacement but opposite in direction. Hence, for small angular displacment, the oscillations of the bar magnet in a uniform magnetic field is simple harmonic.

Question 3.

Obtain the expression for the period of a magnet vibrating in a uniform magnetic field and performing S.H.M.

Consider a bar magnet of magnetic moment μ, suspended horizontally by a light twistless fibre in a region where the horizontal component of the Earth's magnetic field is B. The bar magnet is free to rotate in a horizontal plane. It comes to rest in approximately the North—South direction, along B.

At what distance from the mean position is the kinetic energy of the particle performing SHM of amplitude 8cm three times its potential energy?

If it is rotated in the horizontal plane by a small displacement θ from its rest position (θ =0),the suspension fibre is twisted. When the magnet is released, it oscillates about the rest position in angular or torsional oscillation.

The bar magnet experiences a torque r due to the field B. Which tends to restore it to its original orientation parallel to B. For small θ, this restoring torque is

τ = −μB sin θ = −μBθ ...(1)

where the minus sign indicates that the torque is opposite in direction to the angular displacement θ.

For clockwise angular displacement θ , the restoring torque is in the anticlockwise direction.

∴ τ = Iα = −μBθ

where I is the moment of inertia of the bar magnet and a is its angular acceleration.

∴ α = −μBθ/I --- (1)

Since μ, B and I are constants, Eq. (1) shows that angular acceleration is directly proportional to the angular displacement and directed opposite to the angular displacement.

Hence the magnet performs angular S.H.M. The period of vibrations of the magnet is given by

∴ T =  \(\frac{2π}{\sqrt{α/θ}}=\frac{2π}{\sqrt{\text{angular acceleration per unit angular displacement}}}\)

∴ T = \(\frac{2π}{\sqrt{α/θ}} = 2π\sqrt{\frac{I}{−μB}\)

Question 4.

Show that a linear S.H.M. is the projection of a U.C.M. along any of its diameter.

Consider a particle which moves anticlockwise around a circular path of radius r with a constant angular speed w (Fig).

At what distance from the mean position is the kinetic energy of the particle performing SHM of amplitude 8cm three times its potential energy?

Let the path lie in the x-y plane with the centre at the origin O. The instantaneous position P of the particle is called the reference point and the circle in which the particle moves as the reference circle.

The perpendicular projection of P onto the y-axis is Q. Then, as the particle travels around the circle, Q moves to-and-fro along the y-axis. Line OP makes an angle a with the x-axis at t= 0. At time t, this angle becomes θ = ωt + α.

The projection Q of the reference point is described by the y-coordinate,

y = OQ = OP sin ∠OPQ, Since  ∠OPQ = ωt + α.

y = r sin(ωt + α.)

which is the equation of a linear SHM of amplitude A. The angular frequency w of a linear SHM can thus be understood as the angular velocity of the reference particle.

Projection of velocity: The tangential velocity of the reference particle is

v = ωr. Its y-component at time t is‘

vy = ωr sin (90°− θ) = ωr cos θ

vy = ωr cos (ωt + α)

Projection of acceleration: The centripetal acceleration of the reference particle is ar = ω2r , so that its y-component at time t is

ax = ar sin ∠OPQ

∴ ax = − ω2r sin (ωt + α) = − ω2y

(a) Conclusions from the graphs for the mean position:

  • Displacement, velocity and acceleration of S.H.M. are periodic functions of time.

  • Displacement time curve and acceleration time curves are sine curves and velocity time curve is a cosine curve.

  • There is phase difference of π/2 radian between displacement and velocity.

  • There is phase difference of π/2 radian between velocity and acceleration.

  • There is a phase difference of π radians between x and a.

Question 6.

Deduce the expressions for the kinetic energy and potential energy of a particle executing S.H.M. Hence obtain the expression for total energy of a particle performing S.H.M and show that the total energy is conserved. State the factors on which total energy depends.

Consider a particle of mass m performing linear SHM with amplitude A. The restoring force acting on the particle is P = −kx, where k is the force constant and x is the displacement of the particle from its mean position.

Kinetic energy : At distance x from the mean position, the velocity is

 v = \(ω\sqrt{A^2−x^2}\)

where ω  = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}\) . The kinetic energy (KE) of the particle is

KE = ½ mv2

= ½ mω2(A2 − x2)

= ½ k(A2 − x2)  ……..(1)

If the phase of the particle at an instant t is 0 = ωt + α, where a is initial phase, its velocity at that instant is

v = ωA cos (ωt + α)

and its KE at that instant is

KE = ½ mv2 = ½ mω2A2 cos2(ωt + α)

=  ½ kA2 cos2(ωt + α)  …..(2)

Therefore, the KE varies with time as cos2θ .

Potential energy : The potential energy of a particle in linear SHM is defined as the work done by an external agent, against the restoring force, in taking the particle from its mean position to a given point in the path, keeping the particle in equilibrium.

Suppose the particle in fig. is displaced from P1 to P2, through an infinitesimal distance dx against the restoring force F as shown.

At what distance from the mean position is the kinetic energy of the particle performing SHM of amplitude 8cm three times its potential energy?

The corresponding work done by the external agent will be dW = (- F )dx = kx dx. This work done is stored in the form of potential energy.

The potential energy (PE) of the particle when its displacement from the mean position is x can be found by integrating the above expression from 0 to x.

∴ PE = \(\int dW =\int kx\,dx =\frac{1}{2}dx^2 \)

The displacement of the particle at an instant t being P

x = A sin (ωt + α)

its PE at that instant is

PE = ½ kx2 = ½ kA2 sin (ωt + α)  …….(4)

Therefore, the PE varies with time as sin2θ.

Total energy : The total energy of the particle is equal to the sum of its potential energy and kinetic energy.

From Eqs. (1) and (2), total energy is

E = PE + KE

= ½ kx2 + ½ k(A2 – x2)  

= ½ kx2 + ½ kA2 – ½ k x2 

= ½ kA2 = ½ mω2A2 = …….(5) 

Total energy of SHM in terms of acceleration is

E = ½ mω2A2 = ½ mAamax         (….amax = ω2A)

∴ E =  ½ mAamax  is the the expression of total energy in terms of acceleration.

As m is constant, and ω and A are constants of the motion, the total energy of the particle remains constant (or its conserved).

Factors on which the total energy of a particle executing SHM depends :

If η is the frequency in S.H.M. ω = 2πη and for T is the period of the motion w = 2π/T

Using this in Eq. (5), we get

= 2π2mη2A2 = \(\frac{2π^2mA^2}{T^2}\)

Conclusions :The total energy of the particle is

  • independent of x and thus remains constant when m, w and A are constant,

  • directly proportional to the force constant (E ∝ k),

  • directly proportional to the mass of the particle (E ∝ m),

  • directly proportional to the square of the amplitude (E ∝ A2),

  • proportional to the square of the frequency η (E ∝ η2 ),

  • inversely proportional to the square of the period T (E ∝ 1/T2).

Question 7.

Deduce the expression for period of simple pendulum. Hence state the factors on which its period depends.

Consider a simple pendulum of length L, suspended from a rigid support O. When displaced from its initial position of rest through a small angle q in a vertical plane and released, it performs oscillations between two extremes, B and C, as shown in Fig.

At what distance from the mean position is the kinetic energy of the particle performing SHM of amplitude 8cm three times its potential energy?

At B, the forces on the bob are its weight mg and the tension T’  in the string. Resolve mg into two components : mg cos θ in the direction opposite to that of the tension and mg sin θ perpendicular to the string.

mg cos θ is balanced by the tension in the string.

mg sin θ restores the bob to the equilibrium position.

Restoring force, F = − mg sin θ

If θ is small and expressed in radian,

sin θ  » θ = \(\frac{arc}{radius}=\frac{AB}{OB} =\frac{x}{L}\)

∴ F = − mgθ = − mg\(\frac{x}{L}\)     ….(1)

Since m, g and L are constant,

∴ F ∝ (−x)  …….(2)

Thus, the net force on the bob is in the direction opposite to that of displacement x of the bob from its mean position as indicated by the minus sign, and the magnitude of the force is proportional to the magnitude of the displacement. Hence, it follows that the motion of a simple pendulum is linear SHM.

Acceleration, a = F/m =  \(\frac{g}{L}x\)  ......(3)

Therefore, acceleration per unit displacement

\(\left | \frac{a}{x} \right |=\frac{g}{L} \)

Period of SHM,

T = \(\frac{2π}{\sqrt{\text{acceleration per unit displacement}}}=\frac{2π}{\sqrt{g/L}}\)

∴ T = \(2π\sqrt{L/g}\)

This gives the expression for the period of a simple pendulum.

From the above expression, the factors on which its period depends.

  • The period of a simple pendulum at a given place (g constant) is directly proportional to the square root of its length. T ∝ \(\sqrt{L}\)

  • The period of a simple pendulum of a given length (L constant) is inversely proportional to the square root of the acceleration due to gravity. T ∝ \(\sqrt{\frac{1}{g}}\)

 A=5 cm

v = \(ω\sqrt{A^2-x^2}\)   and vmax = ωA

Since v = \(\frac{1}{2}v_max\)

\(ω\sqrt{A^2-x^2}=\frac{ωA}{2}\)

∴ \(A^2-x^2=\frac{A^2}{4}\)

∴ \(x^2=A^2-\frac{A^2}{4} = \frac{3A^2}{4} \)

PE = ½ mw2x2 = ½m(4π2η2)x2 = 0.1π2x2

x =A sin ωt = A sin(2π/T)t

∴ (2π/T)t = sin-1 0.3333 = 19.47° = 19.47 x π/180  rad

Question 22.

Find the number of oscillations performed per minute by a magnet is vibrating in the plane of a uniform field of 1.6 × 10-5 Wb/m2. The magnet has moment of inertia 3 × 10-6 kg/m2 and magnetic moment 3 A-m2.

Given:  B =1.6 x 10-5 T, I = 3 x 10-6 Kg/m2, m =3 A-m2

The period of oscillation, T = 2π\(\sqrt{\frac{I}{μB}}\)

∴ The frequency of oscillation is

η = \(\frac{1}{2π}\sqrt{\frac{μB}{I}}\)

The number of oscillations per minute

60η =\(\frac{60}{2π}\sqrt{\frac{(3)(1.6×10^{-5})}{3×10^{-6}}}\)

=\(\frac{60}{2π}\sqrt{16}\)

= 38.19 per minute

Question 23.

A wooden block of mass m is kept on a piston that can perform vertical vibrations of adjustable frequency and amplitude. During vibrations, we don’t want the block to leave the contact with the piston. How much maximum frequency is possible if the amplitude of vibrations is restricted to 25 cm? In this case, how much is the energy per unit mass of the block? (g ≈ π2 10 m s2)

Given : A = 0.25m, g = π2 = 10 m s2

During vertical oscillations, the acceleration is maximum at the turning points at the top and bottom. The block will just lose contact with the piston when its apparent weight is zero at the top,

i.e., when its acceleration is amax = g, downwards.

|amax| = ω2A = 4π2 η2max A = g

∴ η2max  = \(\sqrt{\frac{g}{4π^2A}}\) = \(\sqrt{\frac{10}{4×10×0.25}}\) = 1 Hz

This gives the required frequency of the piston.

E = ½ mω2A2 = ½ m(4π2 η2)A2

∴ E/m = 2p2 h2A2 = 2 x 10 x 12 x (1/4)2 = 1.25 J/kg
