16) Question Explanation: Finding the time period of a uniform cylinder oscillating vertically
in a liquid.
Concept: SHM with buoyancy.
Calculation:
If it is displaced by x amount downward, than
fR = extra force
= kx + σ A x . g
= (k + σ A g)x
18) Question Explanation: Finding the maximum downward displacement of a block from an
extended spring.
Concept: Vertical SHM and energy conservation.
Solution: The block is released from rest when the spring has an initial extension. The motion
is SHM about the equilibrium position. The maximum downward displacement is the sum of
the equilibrium extension and the amplitude.
Calculation: The block has mass m and the spring has stiffness k.
The equilibrium position is where kxeq = mg ⟹ xeq = mg/k.
The block is released from rest when the extension is x0. Let's assume the spring is stretched.
This point is one of the extremes of the oscillation.
The amplitude of the oscillation is A = ∣xeq − x0∣ = ∣mg/k − x0∣.
The maximum downward displacement is the distance from the release point to the lowest
point of the oscillation.
The displacement from the unstretched position is x0. The amplitude is ∣x0 − mg/k∣.
The maximum downward displacement is xmax = x0 + ∣x0 − mg/k∣.
This is a complex problem. Let's re-read the question.
The block is released from rest when the spring is stretched by x0. This is the upper extreme.
The equilibrium is at xeq = mg/k from the unstretched position.
The amplitude is A = xeq − x0.
The maximum downward displacement is from the release point to the lower extreme.
This is 2A = 2(xeq − x0) = 2(mg/k − x0).
The question asks for the maximum downward displacement of the block.
This is the displacement from the unstretched length to the lowest point.
xbottom = xeq + A = mg/k + (mg/k − x0) = 2mg/k − x0.
Final Answer: |(mg/k) - d|
19) Question Explanation: Finding the vibration period of a toy car with two springs.
Concept: Time period of a spring-mass system.
Solution: The two springs are attached to the car. When the car is displaced, both springs
exert a restoring force. This is a parallel combination of springs.
Calculation: The mass of the car is m. The spring constant of each spring is k.
The springs are in parallel, so the effective spring constant is keff = k + k = 2k.

21) Question Explanation: Finding the maximum frictional force between two blocks in
SHM.
Solution:
At maximum elongation in spring, acceleration of (P + Q) system will be maximum. Hence
friction force on P will be maximum at that instant.
Acceleration ‘a(P+Q)’ =
Hence friction force on P ‘f’ = ma(P+Q) =
22) Question Explanation: Finding the time period of small vertical oscillations for a block in
a spring-pulley system.
Solution:
Let block be displaced by x then displacement in springs be x1,x2,x3 and x4
Such that x = 2x1 + 2x2 + 2x3 + 2x4
Now let restoring force on m be F = kx then
2f = k1x1 = k2x2 = k3x3 = k4x4

74) Question Explanation: Find the square of the radius of a fixed circle tangent to a
variable chord.
Concept: Homogenization of conic sections and properties of a hyperbola.
Solution: The equation of the lines joining the origin to the intersection points of a line and a
conic can be found by homogenization. For these lines to be perpendicular, the sum of the
coefficients of x2 and y2 must be zero. This gives a condition on the parameter of the line.
Let the variable chord be x cos α + y sin α = p which intersect the hyperbola in A and B
the joint equation of OA and OB is
Final Answer: 8.
