$A$ cylindrical block of wood (density $= 650 \ kg \ m^{-3}$),of base area $30 \ cm^2$ and height $54 \ cm$,floats in a liquid of density $900 \ kg \ m^{-3}$. The block is depressed slightly and then released. The time period of the resulting oscillations of the block would be equal to that of a simple pendulum of length ..... $cm$ (nearly).

$A$ pendulum clock keeps correct time at $0^{\circ}C$. If its mean coefficient of linear expansion is $\alpha /^{\circ}C$,what is the loss in seconds per day by the clock if the temperature rises by $t^{\circ}C$?

$A$ wooden cube (density of wood $d$) of side $l$ floats in a liquid of density $\rho$ with its upper and lower surfaces horizontal. If the cube is pushed slightly down and released,it performs simple harmonic motion of period $T$. Then,$T$ is equal to

$A$ 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 bob of a simple pendulum performs $SHM$ with period $T$ in air and with period $T_1$ in water. The relation between $T$ and $T_1$ is (neglect friction due to water,density of the material of the bob is $\frac{9}{8} \times 10^3 \ kg/m^3$,density of water is $1 \ g/cc$):

$A$ pendulum is suspended by a string of length $250\,cm$. The mass of the bob of the pendulum is $200\,g$. The bob is pulled aside until the string is at $60^{\circ}$ with the vertical,as shown in the figure. After releasing the bob,the maximum velocity attained by the bob will be . . . . . . $m/s$. (if $g = 10\,m/s^2$)
