5) Question Explanation: We need to find the time period of oscillation for a floating block.
Concept: Vertical SHM with buoyancy.
Solution: A floating block, when disturbed from its equilibrium, performs vertical SHM. The
restoring force is due to the change in buoyant force.
Calculation:
At equilibrium position
Mg = ρVg ... (1)
where; ρ : density of water
V : volume of liquid displace by box

D = ρd
Now we displaced further by 'x'

FRestoring = mg – ρVg
= Mg – ρ (bc (h + x))g
FRestoring = –ρ bc xg
M aRestoring = –ρ bc g x

7) Question Explanation: Finding the condition for a rod-spring system to perform rotational
SHM.
 Concept: Rotational SHM and condition for stable equilibrium.
Solution: A system performs stable rotational oscillation if, for a small angular displacement,
there is a net restoring torque. The equilibrium is stable if the restoring torque due to the
springs is greater than the toppling torque due to gravity.
Calculation:

F1 = kx1, F2 = kx2

14) Question Explanation: Identifying an expression that is not the maximum tension in a
pendulum string.
Concept: Tension in a simple pendulum.
Solution: The tension in a simple pendulum string varies with its position and velocity. The
maximum tension occurs at the lowest point of the swing.
Calculation: The maximum tension occurs at the lowest point, and its value is given by
 Using conservation of energy, where θ is the
angular amplitude. v2 = 2gL(1 − cosθ).

The amplitude is given as a. This implies the maximum displacement is a, so sinθ = a/L.
