Attempt all questions
1. Write down and solve the differential equation of damped harmonic oscillator
subjected to a sinusoidal force and obtain expression for its maximum amplitude
and quality factor. [10]
Or
What is a torsional pendulums ? obtain an expression for its time period. Explain
why unlike a simple or compound pendulum, the time period in this case remains
un affected even if the amplitude is large.
[10]

a) what do you mean by a harmonic oscillator ? At what distance from mean
position K.E and P.E are equal in S.H.M.
b) Define thermal equilibrium and zeroth law of thermodynamics.
5. 10 gmof ice at −2 ℃ is mixed with20 gm of water at 10 ℃. Calculated the change
in entropy. [6]
6. The bodies of masses 10 g and 90 g are connected by a weightless spring of
length 10 cm. If the force constant of the spring is 106 dyne per cm. find the
