Wave Mechanics Question 588

Question: A bent tube of uniform cross-section area A has a non-viscous liquid of density p. The mass of liquid in the tube is m. The time period of oscillation of the liquid is

Options:

A) $ 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{\rho gA}} $

B) $ 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{2\rho gA}} $

C) $ 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{2m}{\rho gA}} $

D) None of these

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

[a] The restoring force $ F=-(PA) $

$ =-[\rho g(2y\sin 30^{o})]A $

$ =\rho gA(-y) $
$ \

Therefore a=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{\rho gA}{m} $ Thus $ T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{\rho gA}} $
