JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 13. oscillations

A pendulum with time period of \(1\, s\) is losing energy due to damping. At certain time its energy is \(45\, J\). If after  completing \(15\,oscillations\) , its energy has become \(15\, J\), its damping constant (in \(s^{-1}\) ) is

  1. A \(\frac{1}{2}\)
  2. B \(\frac{1}{{30}}\ln \,3\)
  3. C \(2\)
  4. D \(\frac{1}{{15}}\ln \,3\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{1}{{15}}\ln \,3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

As we know, \(E=E_{0} e^{-\frac{b t}{m}}\) \(15=45 e^{-\frac{b 15}{m}}\) [As no. of oscillations \(=15 \text { so } t=15 \mathrm{sec}]\) \(\frac{1}{3}=e^{-\frac{b 15}{m}}\) Taking log on both sides \(\frac{b}{m}=\frac{1}{15} \ell \mathrm{n} 3\)
