The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the ratio of the resultant magnetic fields at two different places where a magnet oscillates with given time periods and angles of dip. ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between time period and magnetic field The time period \( T \) of a magnet oscillating in a magnetic field is given by the formula: \[ T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{I}{M B \cos \theta}} \] where: - \( I \) is the moment of inertia, - \( M \) is the mass of the magnet, - \( B \) is the magnetic field strength, - \( \theta \) is the angle of dip. From this formula, we can see that the time period \( T \) is inversely proportional to the square root of \( B \cos \theta \). ### Step 2: Set up the ratio of time periods Let \( T_1 = 2 \) seconds at angle of dip \( \theta_1 = 30^\circ \) and \( T_2 = 3 \) seconds at angle of dip \( \theta_2 = 60^\circ \). Using the relationship established, we can write: \[ \frac{T_1}{T_2} = \sqrt{\frac{B_2 \cos \theta_2}{B_1 \cos \theta_1}} \] ### Step 3: Substitute the known values Substituting the values of \( T_1 \), \( T_2 \), \( \theta_1 \), and \( \theta_2 \): \[ \frac{2}{3} = \sqrt{\frac{B_2 \cos 60^\circ}{B_1 \cos 30^\circ}} \] ### Step 4: Square both sides Squaring both sides gives: \[ \left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^2 = \frac{B_2 \cos 60^\circ}{B_1 \cos 30^\circ} \] This simplifies to: \[ \frac{4}{9} = \frac{B_2 \cdot \frac{1}{2}}{B_1 \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}} \] ### Step 5: Simplify the equation This can be simplified to: \[ \frac{4}{9} = \frac{B_2}{B_1} \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \] ### Step 6: Rearranging the equation Rearranging gives: \[ \frac{B_2}{B_1} = \frac{4}{9} \cdot \sqrt{3} \] ### Step 7: Finding the ratio \( \frac{B_1}{B_2} \) Taking the reciprocal to find \( \frac{B_1}{B_2} \): \[ \frac{B_1}{B_2} = \frac{9}{4\sqrt{3}} \] ### Final Answer Thus, the ratio of the resultant magnetic field at the two places is: \[ \frac{B_1}{B_2} = \frac{9}{4\sqrt{3}} \]
