  • Use g=10 N/kgg = 10\ \mathrm{N/kg} throughout, unless otherwise specified.
  • You may write in this question booklet and the scratch paper provided by the proctor.
  • This test has 25 multiple choice questions. Select the best response to each question, and use a No.2 pencil to completely fill the box corresponding to your choice. If you change an answer, completely erase the previous mark. Only use the boxes numbered 1 through 25 on the answer sheet.
  • All questions are equally weighted, but are not necessarily equally difficult.
  • You will receive one point for each correct answer, and zero points for each incorrect or blank answer. There is no additional penalty for incorrect answers.
  • You may use a hand-held calculator. Its memory must be cleared of data and programs. You may use only the basic functions found on a simple scientific calculator. Calculators may not be shared. Cell phones may not be used during the exam or while the exam papers are present. You may not use any external references, such as books or formula sheets.
  • The question booklet, answer sheet and scratch paper will be collected at the end of this exam.
  • To maintain exam security, do not communicate any information about the questions or their solutions until after February 13, 2026.

Условие

In the following swing, all lines are rigid rods and their lengths satisfy the relation l12+l22=a2+b2l_1^2 + l_2^2 = a^2 + b^2. What is the period of small oscillation of the mass at point C?

(A) 2πl12+l22ga2\pi\sqrt{\frac{l_1^2+l_2^2}{ga}}

(B) 2πl1l2ga2\pi\sqrt{\frac{l_1 l_2}{ga}}

(C) 2πl1l2ga2+b22\pi\sqrt{\frac{l_1 l_2}{g\sqrt{a^2+b^2}}}

(D) 2πal1l2g(l12+l22)2\pi\sqrt{\frac{a l_1 l_2}{g(l_1^2+l_2^2)}}

(E) 2πbl1l2g(l12+l22)2\pi\sqrt{\frac{b l_1 l_2}{g(l_1^2+l_2^2)}}

A frame of two vertical posts standing on the ground. Point A is at the top of the left post; point B is on the right post a distance b below the top level; the horizontal distance between the posts is a. A rod l_1 runs from A down to point C, and a rod l_2 runs from C up to B; a mass sits at C.
