Motion of an oscillating liquid column in a U-tube is

A

periodic but not simple harmonic.

B

non-periodic

C

simple harmonic and time period is independent of the density of the liquid.

D

simple harmonic and time period is directly proportional to the density of the liquid.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Motion of an oscillating liquid column in a U tube is SHM with period, `T=2pisqrt((h)/(g))`, where h is the height of liquid column in one arm of U tube in equilibrium position of liquid. Therefore, T is independent of density of liquid.

Which of the following examples examples represent (nearly) simple harmonic motion and which represent periodic but not simple harmonic motion? (a) The rotation of earth about its axis. (b) Motion of an oscillating mercury column in a U tube, (c) Motion of a ball bearing inside a smooth curved bowl, when released from a point slightly above the lower most position. (d) General vibrations of a polyatomic molecule about its equilibrium position.

A U-tube of uniform cross-section holds 1 kg of pure mercury and 0.2 kg of water in equilibrium. The diameter of cross-section is 1.2 cm. Relative density of mercury is 13.6. If the system in equilibrium is slightly disturbed, the period of oscillation of the liquid column in the tube will be (take g=10ms^(-2) )

STATEMENT-1 : The height of a liquid column in a U -tube is 0.3 m . If the liquid in one of the limbs is depressed, and then released, the time period of liquid column will be 1.1 sec . STATEMENT-2 : this follows from the relation. T = 2pisqrt(h)/(g)

A liquid of mass m set into oscillations in a U-tube of cross section A. Its time period recorded is T, where T = 2pisqrt((l)/(2g)) , here l is the length of liquid column. If the liquid of same mass is set into oscillaions in U-tube of cross section (A)/(16) then determine time period of oscillation.

STATEMENT-1 : Time period of the liquid executing S.H.M.in a U-tube depends on the area of cross section of U-tube. and STATEMENT-2 : The restoring force acting on liquid displaced from equilibrium position of U -tube depends on the difference in levels of liquid in the two limbs of U -tube.

A capillary tube when immersed vertically in a liquid records a rise of 6 cm . If the tube is immersed inclined 30^@ with the vertical , then length of liquid column along the tube will be
