The correct Answer is:
To find out what time the image of a clock showing 04:25:37 will display in a plane mirror, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Clock's Position**: The clock shows the time as 04:25:37, which means it is 4 hours, 25 minutes, and 37 seconds past midnight. 2. **Determine the Reference Time**: In a mirror, the image of the clock will be inverted. To find the inverted time, we can use a reference time of 6:00:00 (6 o'clock). This is because the clock's face can be thought of as a circle where 12 o'clock is at the top and 6 o'clock is at the bottom. 3. **Calculate the Time Remaining to 6:00:00**: We need to calculate how much time is left from 04:25:37 to 06:00:00. - From 04:25:37 to 05:00:00 is 34 minutes and 23 seconds. - From 05:00:00 to 06:00:00 is 1 hour. - Therefore, the total time from 04:25:37 to 06:00:00 is: - 1 hour + 34 minutes + 23 seconds = 1 hour, 34 minutes, and 23 seconds. 4. **Add the Remaining Time to 6:00:00**: Now, we add the remaining time to 6:00:00 to find the time displayed in the mirror: - 6:00:00 + 1:34:23 = 7:34:23. 5. **Final Result**: Thus, the time shown by the image of the clock in the mirror will be 07:34:23. ### Final Answer: The image of the clock in the mirror will show 07:34:23. ---

A spring having a spring constant k is fixed to a vertical wall as shown in Fig. A block of mass m moves with velocity v torards the spring from a parallel wall opposite to this wall. The mass hits the free end of the spring compressing it and is decelerated by the spring force and comes to rest and then turns the spring is decelerated by the spring force and comes to rest and then turns back till the spring acquires its natural length and contact with the spring is broken. In this process, it regains its angular speed in the opposite direction and makes a perfect elastice collision on the opposite left wall and starts moving with same speed as before towards right. The above processes are repeated and there is periodic oscillation. Q. What is the time period of oscillation ?
