Assertion : In physics, we attempt to derive the properties of a bigger, more complex system from the properties and interaction of its constituent simpler parts.
Reason : This approach is called unification and is at the heart of physics.

A

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to evaluate the assertion and the reason provided, determining their truth values and the relationship between them. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that in physics, we derive the properties of a larger and more complex system from the properties and interactions of its simpler constituent parts. - This is a common practice in physics known as reductionism, where complex systems are analyzed by breaking them down into simpler components. 2. **Evaluating the Assertion**: - The assertion is true. In physics, this method is widely used to understand complex phenomena by studying the simpler parts that make them up. 3. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states that this approach is called unification and is at the heart of physics. - Unification in physics refers to the idea of explaining diverse phenomena using a few fundamental concepts or principles, which is different from reductionism. 4. **Evaluating the Reason**: - The reason is false. The correct term for the approach described in the assertion is reductionism, not unification. 5. **Conclusion**: - Since the assertion is true and the reason is false, we conclude that the correct answer is that the assertion is true but the reason is false. ### Final Answer: - The assertion is true, but the reason is false. This corresponds to option 3.

    In physical pendulum, the time period for small oscillation is given by T=2pisqrt((I)/(Mgd)) where I is the moment of inertial of the body about an axis passing through a pivoted point O and perpendicular to the plane of oscillation and d is the separation point between centre of gravity and the pivoted point. In the physical pendulum a speacial point exists where if we concentrate the entire mass of body, the resulting simple pendulum (w.r.t. pivot point O) will have the same time period as that of physical pendulum This point is termed centre of oscillation. T=2pisqrt((I)/(Mgd))=2pisqrt((L)/(g)) Moreover, this point possesses two other important remarkable properties: Property I: Time period of physical pendulum about the centre of oscillation (if it would be pivoted) is same as in the original case. Property II: If an impulse is applied at the centre of oscillatioin in the plane of oscillation, the effect of this impulse at pivoted point is zero. Because of this property, this point is also known as the centre of percussion. From the given information answer the following question: Q. A uniform rod of mass M and length L is pivoted about point O as shown in Figgt It is slightly rotated from its mean position so that it performs angular simple harmonic motion. For this physical pendulum, determine the time period oscillation.
