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
    $1 / R$

Two particles $P$ and $Q$ describe simple harmonic motions of same period,same amplitude,along the same line about the same equilibrium position $O.$ When $P$ and $Q$ are on opposite sides of $O$ at the same distance from $O,$ they have the same speed of $1.2 \, m/s$ in the same direction. When their displacements are the same,they have the same speed of $1.6 \, m/s$ in opposite directions. The maximum velocity in $m/s$ of either particle is

At $t=0$,a particle executing $SHM$ with a time period $3 \ s$ is in phase with another particle executing $SHM$. The time period of the second particle is $T$ (less than $3 \ s$). If they are again in the same phase for the third time after $45 \ s$,then the value of $T$ is .... . (in $s$)

Two pendulums with identical bobs and lengths are suspended from a common support such that in the rest position the two bobs are in contact. After being displaced by $5^o$,the bob $A$ is released from rest at $t = 0$. Subsequently,it collides elastically head-on with the other bob $B$. Identify the graph showing the variation in energy of pendulum $A$ with time for $0 \leqslant t \leqslant T$ (where $T$ is the period of either pendulum).

Obtain the ratio of maximum acceleration and maximum velocity of a $SHM$ particle.
