A pendulum made of a uniform wire of cross-sectional area \(A\) has time period \(T\). When an additional mass \(M\) is added to its bob, the time period changes to \(T_M\). If the Young’s modulus of the material of the wire is \(Y\) then \(\frac{1}{Y}\) is equal to:
(\(g=\) gravitational acceleration)
1. \( \left[\left(\frac{{T}_{{M}}}{{T}}\right)^2-1\right] \frac{{Mg}}{{A}} \)
2. \(\left[1-\left(\frac{{T}_{{M}}}{{T}}\right)^2\right] \frac{{A}}{{Mg}} \)
3. \(\left[1-\left(\frac{{T}}{{T}_{{M}}}\right)^2\right] \frac{{A}}{{Mg}} \)
4. \(\left[\left(\frac{{T}_{{M}}}{{T}}\right)^2-1\right] \frac{{A}}{{Mg}}\)

A simple pendulum has a time period \(T\) in air. The bob is then completely immersed and continues to oscillate freely in a non-viscous liquid whose density is \(\left ( \dfrac{1}{16}\right )^\mathrm{th} \) of that of the bob. Assuming no damping and only the effect of buoyancy, what is the new time period of oscillation?

1. \( 2 T \sqrt{\dfrac{1}{14}} \) 2. \( 2 T \sqrt{\dfrac{1}{10}} \)
3. \(4 T \sqrt{\dfrac{1}{15}} \) 4. \( 4 T \sqrt{\dfrac{1}{14}} \)

Two masses \({m}~\text{and}~ \frac {{m}}{2}\) are connected at the two ends of a massless rigid rod of length \(l.\) The rod is suspended by a thin wire of torsional constant \(k\) at the center of mass of the rod-mass system (see figure). Because of the torsional constant \(k,\) the restoring torque is \(\tau=k \theta\) for angular displacement \(\theta.\) If the rod is rotated by \(\theta_0\) and released, the tension in it when it passes through its mean position will be:
   
1. \(\dfrac{3k\theta_0^2}{l}\)

2. \(\dfrac{2k\theta_0^2}{l}\)

3. \(\dfrac{k\theta_0^2}{l}\)

4. \(\dfrac{k\theta_0^2}{2l}\)
