Physics And Measurement Question 30

Question: A highly rigid cubical block A of small mass M and side L is fixed rigidly onto another cubical block B of the same dimensions and of low modulus of rigidity η such that the lower face of A completely covers the upper face of B . The lower face of B is rigidly held on a horizontal surface. A small force F is applied perpendicular to one of the side faces of A . After the force is withdrawn block A executes small oscillations. The time period of which is given by

[IIT 1992]

Options:

A) 2πMηL

B) 2πLMη

C) 2πMLη

D) 2πMηL

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

By substituting the dimensions of mass [M], length [L] and coefficient of rigidity [ML1T2] we get T=2πMηL is the right formula for time period of oscillations
