Four pendulums $A, B, C$ and $D$ are hung from the same elastic support as shown in the figure. $A$ and $C$ are of the same length,while $B$ is shorter than $A$ and $C$,and $D$ is longer than $A$. If $A$ is given a displacement,then at steady state:

  • A
    $D$ will vibrate with max amplitude
  • B
    $C$ will vibrate with max amplitude
  • C
    $B$ will vibrate with max amplitude
  • D
    All four will oscillate with equal amplitude

The amplitude of a damped oscillator varies with time as $A(t) = A_0 \exp(-bt / 2m)$, where $b = 70 \text{ g/s}$ and $m = 200 \text{ g}$. How long does it take for the mechanical energy to drop to one-fourth of its initial value (in $s$)? (Take $\ln 2 = 0.7$)

The displacement of a damped harmonic oscillator is given by $x(t) = e^{-0.1 t} \cos(10 \pi t + \varphi)$. Here $t$ is in seconds. The time taken for its amplitude of vibration to drop to half of its initial value is close to: (in $s$)

The amplitude of a damped oscillator is known to decrease to $0.9$ times its original amplitude in $5 \,s$. Approximately, by how many times its original amplitude will it decrease after another $20 \,s$?
