Question

An air chamber of volume V has a neck of cross-sectional area a into which a light ball of mass m can move without friction. The diameter of the ball is equal to that of the neck of the chamber. The ball is pressed down a little and released. If the bulk modulus of air in B, the time period of the resulting oscillation of the ball is given by 

Solution

Correct option is

 

Let P be the pressure of air in the chamber. When the ball is pressed down a distance x, the volume of air decreased from V to say V – ∆V. Hence the pressure increases from P to P + ∆P. The change in volume (see fig) is   

                   

The excess pressure ∆P is related to the bulk modulus B

   

now restoring force on ball = excess pressure × cross-sectional area

  

            

Hence the motion of the ball is simple harmonic. If m is the mass of the ball, the time period of the SHM is
