$A$ bob of a simple pendulum has mass $m$ and is oscillating with an amplitude $a$. If the length of the pendulum is $L$,then the maximum tension in the string is (given $\cos 0^{\circ}=1, g=$ acceleration due to gravity):

  • A
    $mg\left[1+\left(\frac{a}{L}\right)^{2}\right]$
  • B
    $mg\left[1-\left(\frac{a}{L}\right)^{2}\right]$
  • C
    $mg\left[1+\left(\frac{L}{a}\right)^{2}\right]$
  • D
    $mg\left[1-\left(\frac{L}{a}\right)^{2}\right]$

$A$ cylindrical block of wood (density $= 650 \ kg \ m^{-3}$),of base area $30 \ cm^2$ and height $54 \ cm$,floats in a liquid of density $900 \ kg \ m^{-3}$. The block is depressed slightly and then released. The time period of the resulting oscillations of the block would be equal to that of a simple pendulum of length ..... $cm$ (nearly).

$A$ cylindrical plastic bottle of negligible mass is filled with $310\, ml$ of water and left floating in a pond with still water. If pressed downward slightly and released,it starts performing simple harmonic motion at angular frequency $\omega$. If the radius of the bottle is $2.5\, cm$,then $\omega$ is close to ..... $rad\, s^{-1}$ (density of water $= 10^3\, kg/m^3$).

The time period of a simple pendulum is $T$. When the length is increased by $10 \ cm$, its period is $T_1$. When the length is decreased by $10 \ cm$, its period is $T_2$. Then, the relation between $T, T_1$, and $T_2$ is
