An audio transmitter \((T)\) and a receiver \((R)\) are hung vertically from two identical massless strings of length 8 m with their pivots well separated along the \(X\) axis. They are pulled from the equilibrium position in opposite directions along the \(X\) axis by a small angular amplitude \(\theta_0=\cos ^{-1}(0.9)\) and released simultaneously. If the natural frequency of the transmitter is 660 Hz and the speed of sound in air is \(330 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\), the maximum variation in the frequency (in Hz ) as measured by the receiver (Take the acceleration due to gravity \(g=10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2\) ) is \(\qquad\)

(A) 32
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\begin{aligned} & \cos \theta_0=1-\frac{\theta_0^2}{2}=0.9 \\ & \frac{\theta_0^2}{2}=0.1 \Rightarrow \theta_0=10.2=\frac{1}{\sqrt{5}}\end{aligned}\)

\(\begin{aligned} & f_{\max }=\frac{v+v^{\prime}}{v-v^{\prime}} f \\ & f_{\min }=\frac{v-v^{\prime}}{v+v^{\prime}} f \\ & \Delta f_{\max }=f_{\max }-f_{\min }=\frac{v+v^{\prime}}{v-v^{\prime}} f-\frac{v-v^{\prime}}{v+v^{\prime}} f \\ & =\frac{\left(v+v^{\prime}\right)^2-\left(v-v^{\prime}\right)^2}{v^2-v^{\prime 2}} f\end{aligned}\)
\(\Delta f_{\max }=\frac{4 v v^{\prime}}{v^2-v^{\prime 2}} f \qquad ....(i)\)
Here, \(\mathrm{v}^{\prime}=\ell \Omega_{\max }\)
\(=\ell \cdot \theta_0 \cdot \omega \quad(\omega=\text { angular frequency })\)
\(\begin{aligned} & =\ell \theta_0 \sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{~g}}{\ell}} \\ & \mathrm{v}^{\prime}=\theta_0 \sqrt{\mathrm{~g} \ell} \\ & \mathrm{v}^{\prime}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{5}} \sqrt{10 \times 8} \\ & \mathrm{v}^{\prime}=4\end{aligned}\)
Put in equation (i)
\(\begin{aligned} & \Delta \mathrm{f}_{\max }=\frac{4 \times 330 \times 4 \times 660}{330^2-4^2} \\ & \approx \frac{16 \times 330 \times 660}{330} \approx 32\end{aligned}\)

\(\begin{aligned} & f_{\max }=\frac{v+v^{\prime}}{v-v^{\prime}} f \\ & f_{\min }=\frac{v-v^{\prime}}{v+v^{\prime}} f \\ & \Delta f_{\max }=f_{\max }-f_{\min }=\frac{v+v^{\prime}}{v-v^{\prime}} f-\frac{v-v^{\prime}}{v+v^{\prime}} f \\ & =\frac{\left(v+v^{\prime}\right)^2-\left(v-v^{\prime}\right)^2}{v^2-v^{\prime 2}} f\end{aligned}\)
\(\Delta f_{\max }=\frac{4 v v^{\prime}}{v^2-v^{\prime 2}} f \qquad ....(i)\)
Here, \(\mathrm{v}^{\prime}=\ell \Omega_{\max }\)
\(=\ell \cdot \theta_0 \cdot \omega \quad(\omega=\text { angular frequency })\)
\(\begin{aligned} & =\ell \theta_0 \sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{~g}}{\ell}} \\ & \mathrm{v}^{\prime}=\theta_0 \sqrt{\mathrm{~g} \ell} \\ & \mathrm{v}^{\prime}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{5}} \sqrt{10 \times 8} \\ & \mathrm{v}^{\prime}=4\end{aligned}\)
Put in equation (i)
\(\begin{aligned} & \Delta \mathrm{f}_{\max }=\frac{4 \times 330 \times 4 \times 660}{330^2-4^2} \\ & \approx \frac{16 \times 330 \times 660}{330} \approx 32\end{aligned}\)

- A uniform circular disc of mass and radius is rotating with an angular velocity of about its own axis, which is vertical. Two uniform circular rings, each of mass and radius , are gently placed symmetrically on the disc in such a manner that they are touching each other along the axis of the disc and are horizontal. Assume that the friction is large enough such that the rings are at rest relative to the disc and the system rotates about the original axis.

Scientists are working hard to develop nuclear fusion reactor. Nuclei of heavy hydrogen, \({ }_1^2 \mathrm{H}\) known as deuteron and denoted by \(D\) can be thought of as a candidate for fusion reactor. The \(D\) - \(D\) reaction is \({ }_1^2 \mathrm{H}+{ }_1^2 \mathrm{H} \rightarrow{ }_2^3 \mathrm{He}+n+\) energy. In the core of fusion reactor. A gas of heavy hydrogen is fully ionized into deuteron nuclei and electrons. This collection of \({ }_1^4 \mathrm{H}\) nuclei and electrons is known as plasma. The nuclei move randomly in the reactor core and occasionally come close enough for nuclear fusion to take place. Usually, the temperatures in the reactor core are too high and no material wall can be used to confine the plasma. Special techniques are used which confine the plasma for a time \(t_0\) before the particles fly away from the core. If n is the density (number/volume) of deutrons, the product t \(_0\) is called Lawson number. In one of the criteria, \(a\) reactor is termed successful if Lawson number is greater than \(5 \times 10^{14} \mathrm{scm}^{-3}\).

When liquid medicine of density \(\rho\) is to be put in the eye, it is done with the help of a dropper. As the bulb on the top of the dropper is pressed, a drop forms at the opening of the dropper. We wish to estimate the size of the drop.
We first assume that the drop formed at the opening is spherical because that requires a minimum increase in its surface energy. To determine the size, we calculate the net vertical force due to the surface tension \(T\) when the radius of the drop is \(R\). When this force becomes smaller than the weight of the drop, the drop gets detached from the dropper.
Question :
If the radius of the opening of the dropper is \(r\), the vertical force due to the surface tension on the drop of radius \(R\) (assuming \(r< < R\) ) isJEE Advanced 2010 Medium - The number of solutions of the pair of equations \(2 \sin ^2 \theta-\cos 2 \theta=0\) and \(2 \cos ^2 \theta-3 \sin \theta=0\) in the interval \([0,2 \pi]\) isJEE Advanced 2007 Easy
