$A$ heavy small-sized sphere is suspended by a string of length $l$. The sphere rotates uniformly in a horizontal circle with the string making an angle $\theta$ with the vertical. Then the time period of this conical pendulum is

  • A
    $t = 2\pi \sqrt {\frac{l}{g}} $
  • B
    $t = 2\pi \sqrt {\frac{l \sin \theta}{g}} $
  • C
    $t = 2\pi \sqrt {\frac{l \cos \theta}{g}} $
  • D
    $t = 2\pi \sqrt {\frac{l}{g \cos \theta}} $

$A$ simple pendulum of length $l$ and having a bob of mass $M$ is suspended in a car. The car is moving on a circular track of radius $R$ with a uniform speed $v$. If the pendulum makes small oscillations in a radial direction about its equilibrium position,what will be its time period?

$A$ cylindrical plastic bottle of negligible mass is filled with $310\, ml$ of water and left floating in a pond with still water. If pressed downward slightly and released,it starts performing simple harmonic motion at angular frequency $\omega$. If the radius of the bottle is $2.5\, cm$,then $\omega$ is close to ..... $rad\, s^{-1}$ (density of water $= 10^3\, kg/m^3$).
