Case Study Based Questions

29. Read the following paragraph and answer the questions that follow
When a body falls through a viscous medium, it
experiences an upward viscous drag
which tends to retard its motion. As the velocity of the body increases due to gravity,
the viscous drag also goes on increasing due to
increase in the velocity.
Drag Upthrust

Weight
Finally, a stage is reached, when the weight of the body
sum of the upthrust and upward viscous becomes just equal to the
body and the body begins to move with a drag. At this stage, no net force acts on the
velocity acquired by a body while fallingconstant velocity. The maximum constant
through a viscous medium is called its
terminal velocity. The value of terminal velocity for different bodies is different.

30. Read the following paragraph and answer the questions that follow :
A simple pendulum is a heavy point mass suspended by a weightless
inextensible
and a perfectly flexible string from a rigid support about which it can vibrate freely.
The distance of the point of suspension and the point of oscillation is called length
of the pendulum. When the metallic bob is displaced slightly on either side and
released, it begins to oscillate about the mean position. If the thread makes angle
0 with the vertical at any instant, then the forces acting on the both are:(i) weight
mg of the bob acting vertically downwards and (ii) the tension T in the string, The
weight mg has two rectangular components (a) the component mg cos acting along
the thread which balances the tension T in the thread and (b) tangential component
mg sin 0 which provides the restoring force.
