A highly rigid cubical block A of small ...

A highly rigid cubical block `A` of small mass `M` and side `L` is fixed rigidly on the other cubical block of same dimensions and of modulus of rigidity `eta` such that the lower face of `A` completely covers the upper face of `B`. The lower face of `B` is rigidly held on a horizontal surface . `A` small force `F` is applied perpendicular to one of the side faces of `A`. After the force is withdrawn , block `A` executes faces of `A`. After the force is withdrawn , block `A` exceutes small oscillations , the time period of which is given by

A

` 2 pi sqrt(M eta L)`

B

` 2 pi sqrt(M eta //L)`

C

` 2 pi sqrt(M L //eta )`

D

` 2 pi sqrt(M //eta L)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

`[eta] = [ ML^(-1) T^(-2)]`
Hence , `[sqrt((M)/(eta L))] = sqrt (([ M ])/[(ML^(-1) T^(-2)] [L])) = [T]`
