Simple Harmonic Motion 3 Question 9

9. A uniform cylinder of length $L$ and mass $M$ having cross-sectional area $A$ is suspended, with its length vertical, from a fixed point by a massless spring, such that it is half-submerged in a liquid of density $\rho$ at equilibrium position. When the cylinder is given a small downward push and released it starts oscillating vertically with a small amplitude. If the force constant of the spring is $k$, the frequency of oscillation of the cylinder is

$(1990,2 M)$

(a) $\frac{1}{2 \pi} \frac{k-A \rho g}{M}^{1 / 2}$

(b) $\frac{1}{2 \pi} \frac{k+A \rho g}{M}^{1 / 2}$

(c) $\frac{1}{2 \pi} \frac{k+\rho g L^{2}}{M}$

(d) $\frac{1}{2 \pi} \frac{k+A \rho g^{1 / 2}}{A \rho g}$

Answer:

Correct Answer: 9. (b)

Solution:

  1. When cylinder is displaced by an amount $x$ from its mean position, spring force and upthrust both will increase. Hence,

Net restoring force $=$ extra spring force + extra upthrust

or

$$ F=-(k x+A x \rho g) $$

or $\quad a=-\frac{k+\rho A g}{M} x$

Now, $\quad f=\frac{1}{2 \pi} \sqrt{\left|\frac{a}{x}\right|}=\frac{1}{2 \pi} \sqrt{\frac{k+\rho A g}{M}}$

$\therefore$ Correct option is (b).
