Physics Problems: Ratios and Motion

Two wires of the same material and length are stretched by the same force. Their masses are in the ratio of 3:2, and their elongations are in the ratio of 3:2. The orbital period of revolution of a planet around the sun is T0. If we create a scaled down model of the solar system, where everything is scaled by a factor of η but with the same mean density, the new orbital period will be η3T0. A solid floats partially submerged in a liquid. The weight of the displaced liquid equals the weight of the solid.

Two wires of the same material and length are stretched by the same force.

Their masses are in


the ratio 3 : 2, Their elongations are in the ratio

3:2

9:4

2:3

4:9
(C)
Y=Fl/AΔl
Or Δl∝1/A
Again, m=Alρ or m∝A ∴ Δl∝1/m Δl1Δl2=m2m1=2:3

The orbital period of revolution of a planet round the sun is T0T0. Suppose we make a model of
Solar system scaled down in the ratio ηη but of materials of the same mean density as the
actual material of planet and the sun has. The new orbital period is.

ηT0

η2T0

η3T0

T0
