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
    $1 / R$

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: $(M = 10, m = 5, u = 1, k = 1)$.

$A$ system of two identical rods ($L$-shaped) of mass $m$ and length $l$ are resting on a peg $P$ as shown in the figure. If the system is displaced in its plane by a small angle $\theta$,find the period of oscillations:
