An air chamber of volume V has a neck area of cross-section 'a' into which a ball of mass 'm' just fits and can move up and down without any friction (as shown in the figure). When the ball is pressed down a little and released, it executes SHM. The time period of oscillations is:

(assuming pressure-volume variations of air to be isothermal)
   
1. \(\mathrm{T}=\frac{1}{2 \pi} \sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{Vm}_{\mathrm{m}}}{\mathrm{Ba}^3}}\)
2. \(\mathrm{T}=\pi \sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{Vm}_{\mathrm{m}}}{\mathrm{Ba}^2}}\)
3. \(\mathrm{T}=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{Vm}_{\mathrm{m}}}{\mathrm{Ba}^2}}\)
4. \(\mathrm{T}=3 \pi \sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{Vm}_{\mathrm{m}}}{\mathrm{Ba}^2}}\)

A circular disc of mass 10 kg is suspended by a wire attached to its centre. The wire is twisted by rotating the disc and released. The period of torsional oscillations is found to be 1.5 sec. The radius of the disc is 15 cm. The torsional spring constant of the wire is:
1. 2.1 Nm rad⁻¹
2. 0.6 Nm rad⁻¹
3. 3.2 Nm rad⁻¹
4. 1.9 Nm rad⁻¹

A body describes simple harmonic motion with an amplitude of \(5~\text{cm}\) and a period of \(0.2~\text{s}\). What is the velocity of the body when the displacement is \(3~\text{cm}\)?
1. \(0.4\pi ~\text{m/s}\)
2. \(0\)
3. \(0.5\pi ~\text{m/s}\)
4. \(0.3\pi ~\text{m/s}\)

A mass attached to a spring is free to oscillate, with angular velocity \(\omega\), in a horizontal plane without friction or damping. It is pulled to a distance${}_{}$ \(x_0\) and pushed towards the centre with a velocity \(v_0\) at time \(t=0\). The amplitude of the resulting oscillations is:
1. \(\sqrt{\left(2x_0^2+\frac{v_0^2}{\omega^2}\right)} \)
2. \(\sqrt{\left(x_0^2+\frac{v_0^2}{\omega^2}\right)} \)
3. \(\sqrt{\left(x_0^2+\frac{v_0^2}{2\omega^2}\right)} \)
4. \(\sqrt{\left( x_0^2+\frac{v_0^2}{\pi\omega^2}\right)} \)
