## Question 656

Appeared in Year: 2017

### Describe in Detail

Essay▾

Two identical masses of each are connected by a massless spring of spring constant . The non – zero angular eigen frequency of the system is . (up to two decimal places) .

### Explanation

From question, two identical masses of each are connected by a massless spring of spring constant .

Here, both masses are free to oscillate due to spring, therefore effective mass of system consider.

Now, the spring is supposed to obey Hooke՚s law, therefore when spring is extended or compressed by a distance from its natural length, the tension (o…

## Question 658

Appeared in Year: 2017

### Describe in Detail

Essay▾

A uniform volume charge density is placed inside a conductor (with resistivity ) . The charge density becomes of its original value after time seconds. (up to two decimal places)

### Explanation

According to charge conservation law, the time rate of decrease of charge within a given volume equal to the net outward current flow through the closed surface of the volume.

Let, the current coming out of the closed surface is

Where, is the total charge enclosed by closed surface.

Applying divergence theorem,

But,

Therefore equation (1) become,

This …
