A highly rigid cubical block A of mass M and side L is fixed rigidly on the another cubical block of same dimensions and of modulus of rigidity `rho` 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 A small force F is applied perpendicular to one of the side faces of A. After the force is withdrawn, block A executes small oscillations, the time period of which is given by

A

`2 pi sqrt(M rho L )`

B

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

C

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

D

`2 pi sqrt((M//rhoL))`

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine the time period of the oscillations of block A after the force F is withdrawn. The key parameters involved are the mass of the block (M), the side length of the block (L), and the modulus of rigidity (ρ). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the System**: - We have two cubical blocks, A and B, both with mass M and side length L. Block A is fixed on top of block B, which is held rigidly on a horizontal surface. 2. **Force Application**: - A small force F is applied perpendicular to one of the side faces of block A. This force causes a displacement in block A. 3. **Restoring Force**: - Once the force F is removed, block A will experience a restoring force due to the deformation of block B. The restoring force is proportional to the displacement and is governed by the modulus of rigidity (ρ). 4. **Determine the Effective Spring Constant (k)**: - The effective spring constant k can be expressed in terms of the modulus of rigidity (ρ) and the dimensions of the blocks. The relationship can be derived from the definition of shear modulus: \[ k = \frac{\rho A}{L} \] - Here, A is the area of the face of block A that is in contact with block B, which is \(L^2\). Thus, we can write: \[ k = \frac{\rho L^2}{L} = \rho L \] 5. **Using the Formula for Time Period (T)**: - The time period T of oscillation for a mass-spring system is given by: \[ T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}} \] - Substituting our expression for k: \[ T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{M}{\rho L}} \] 6. **Final Expression for Time Period**: - Therefore, the time period of oscillation of block A is: \[ T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{M}{\rho L}} \] ### Conclusion: The time period of the oscillations of block A after the force is withdrawn is given by: \[ T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{M}{\rho L}} \]
