  • A
    same as $f$
  • B
    less than $f$
  • C
    more than $f$

In an engine,the piston undergoes vertical simple harmonic motion with an amplitude of $7\, cm$. $A$ washer rests on top of the piston and moves with it. The motor speed is slowly increased. The frequency of the piston at which the washer no longer stays in contact with the piston is close to ...... $Hz$.

$A$ simple pendulum,suspended from the ceiling of a lift,has a period of oscillation $T$,when the lift is at rest. If the lift starts moving upwards with an acceleration $a = 3g$,then the new period will be

Given below are two statements:
Statement $I :$ $A$ second's pendulum has a time period of $1$ second.
Statement $II :$ It takes precisely one second to move between the two extreme positions.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below:

$A$ simple pendulum of time period $1\,s$ and length $l$ is hung from a fixed support at $O$. The bob is at a distance $H$ vertically above $A$ on the ground. The amplitude is $\theta_0$. The string snaps at $\theta = \frac{\theta_0}{2}$. Find the time taken by the bob to hit the ground and the distance from $A$ where the bob hits the ground. Assume $\theta_0$ to be small,so that $\sin \theta_0 \approx \theta_0$ and $\cos \theta_0 \approx 1$.

The time period of a simple pendulum in a stationary lift is $T$. If the lift accelerates with $\frac{g}{6}$ vertically upwards,then the new time period will be:
(where $g =$ acceleration due to gravity)
