$T=2\pi\left[\frac{x_2^2-x_1^2}{u_1^2-u_2^2}\right]^{1/2}$

Question 4

Question 6
A Bungee Jumper is attached to one end of a long elastic rope. The other end of the elastic rope is fixed to a high bridge. The Jumper steps off the bridge and falls from rest towards the river below. He does not hit the river below. The mass of the jumper is M and length of unstretched rope is L. Force constant of the rope is K. and gravitational field strength is g. Mass of rope is negligible ,air resistance is negligible.
1.Find out the distance y dropped by the jumper before coming instantaneously to rest for the first time
2.Maximum speed attained by the jumper during this drop
3.The time taken during the drop before coming to rest for the first time
y=[KL+mg+√(2mgKL+m2g2)]/k
v=√(2gL+mg2/k)
t=√(2L/g) + √(m/k)tan-1{-√(2KL/mg)}

Question 7
A mass attached to a spring is free to oscillate , with angular velocity ω , in a frictionless horizontal plane. The mass is displaced from it's equilibrium position by a distance x0 towards the center by pushing it with velocity v0 at time t=0. Find the amplitude of resulting oscillations in terms of ω,x0 and v0 . Answer
A=√[x02+(v02/◜)]

Question 8

When the cylinder is given a small downward push and released , it starts oscillating vertically with small amplitude . Calculate the frequency of oscillations of cylinder. Answer
f=[(k+(σAg)/m]1/2

Question 9
What should be the percentage change of length of pendulum in order that clock have same time period when moved from place where g=9.8 m/s2 to another where g=9.81 m/s2
