The amplitude of a simple pendulum, oscillating in air with a small spherical bob, decreases from 10 cm to 8 cm in 40 seconds. Assuming that Stokes law is valid, and the ratio of the coefficient of viscosity of air to that of carbon dioxide is 1.3 $and b_{air} =1.3$, the time in which amplitude of this pendulum will reduce from 10 cm to 5 cm in carbon dioxide will be close to (ln 5 = 1.601, ln 2 = 0.693) :

(1) 231 s

(2) 208 s

The angular frequency of the damped oscillator is given by, $\omega =\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}-\frac{r^2}{4m^2}}$where k is the spring constant, m is the mass of the oscillator and r is the damping constant. If the ratio $r^2/mk$ is 8%, the change in the time period compared to the undamped oscillator is approximately as follows:

(1) increases by 1%

(2) increases by 8%

(3) decreases by 1%

(4) decreases by 8%

A pendulum with a time period of 1s is losing energy due to damping. At a certain time, its energy is 45 J. If after completing 15 oscillations, its energy has become 15 J, its damping constant $(in s^{-1})$ is:

(2) $\frac{1}{15} \ln 3$

(3) 2

(4) $\frac{1}{2}$

Two particles are performing simple harmonic motion in a straight line about the same equilibrium point. The amplitude and time period for both particles are the same and equal to A and T, respectively. At time t = 0 one particle has displacement A while the other one has displacement -A/2 and they are moving towards each other. If they cross each other at time t, then t is:

(1) T/6

(2) 5T/6

(3) T/3

(4) T/4
