NOTE.Attempt any 2 questions

(5+3)x2=16 marks
Q.3
a.)What is a simple pendulum? Prove that its motion is S.H.M. Derive an expression
for its time period.
b) Two cars P and Q are traveling along a motor way in the same direction, the
leading car p travels at a steady speed of 12m/s, sound its horn to emit a steady note which Ps
driver estimate, has a frequency of 830Hz. What frequency does Qs own driver hear? (speed
of sound = 340m(s)
Q.4
a). explain longitudinal stationary waves in air columns
b). A simple pendulum is 1 meter long. What will be the frequency of vibration at a
place where the value of g = 9.8 m s-2 .
Q.5

a. Describe Newtons Formula for the velocity of sound and explain how was it
corrected by Laplace.
b) A 100.0 g body hung on a spring elongates the spring by 4.0 cm. when a certain
object is hung on the spring and set vibrating, its period is 0.568 s. what is the
mass of the object pulling the spring?.
