Q88 / 90 · JEE Main 2015 (04 Apr) · Physics

A pendulum made of a uniform wire of cross sectional area A has time period T. When an additional mass M is added to its bob, the time period changes to TM . If the Young's modulus of the material of the wire is Y, then 1Y is equal to:
(g=gravitational acceleration)

  • A
    1-TTM2AMg 
  • Correct answer
    B
    T M T 2 - 1 A⁡ Mg⁡
  • C
    T M T 2 - 1 Mg A⁡
  • D
    1-TMT2AMg

Solution

Figure
Initial length =l. Time period T=2πlg        ...(i). After suspending mass M,. Youngs modulus Y=StressStrain=FA∆ll=Fl∆l A

Change in length of wire Δl=FlAY

Now time period TM=2πl+Δlg  ...(ii)       

TTM=2πlg2πl+Δlg        ∵ i ii

T2TM2=ll+Δl

⇒Tm2T2=1+∆ll
1+FAY=TmT2putting value of ∆l
1Y=TmT2-1AF
F=Mg
1Y=TmT2-1AMg

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
