Simple Pendulum

At a place, the length of the oscillating simple pendulum is made 14\frac{1}{4} times keeping amplitude same then the total energy will be

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. E=12mω2A2E = \frac{1}{2}m\omega^2A^2 with ω2=gL\omega^2 = \frac{g}{L}, so E=mgA22LE = \frac{mgA^2}{2L}.
  2. For the same amplitude AA, E∝1LE \propto \frac{1}{L}.
  3. L′=L4⇒E′=4EL' = \frac{L}{4} \Rightarrow E' = 4E
  4. So the answer is (b) 4 times.
