One end of a V-tube containing mercury is connected to a suction pump and the other end to atmosphere. The two arms of the tube are inclined to horizontal at an angle of 45° each. A small pressure difference is created between two columns when the suction pump is removed. Will the column of mercury in V-tube execute simple harmonic motion? Neglect capillary and viscous forces. Find the time period of oscillation.

    This is a long answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar

    Let us consider an infinitesimal liquid column of length dx at a height x from horizontal line.

    If ρ = density of the liquid

    PE= dmgx=A ρ d x g x

    So total PE of the column

    = 0 h 1 A d x g ρ x = A g ρ o h 1 x d x = A ρ g h 1 2 2

    But h1=lsin45

    PE=A ρ gl2sin245/2

    Similarly PE of right column = A ρ gl2sin245/2

    Total PE = A ρ gl2sin245/2+ A ρ gl2sin245/2

    = A ρ gl2/2

    If due to pressure difference is created y element of left side moves on the right side then liquid present in the left arm =l-y

    But liquid present in the right arm =l+y

    Total PE = PEfinal-PEinitial

    Change in PE = A ρ g 2 [ l - y 2 + l + y 2 - l 2 ]

    = A ρ g 2 [ 2 ( l 2 + y 2 ) ] =A ρ g ( l 2 + y 2 )

    Change in KE = ½ mv2

    m=A ρ 2 l

    change in KE= 1/2A ρ 2 l v 2 =A ρ l v 2
