Simple Pendulum

Savitha, a XI standard student, while conducting an experiment to determine the effective length of a simple pendulum LL, notes down the data of time taken to complete 30 oscillations as 60 s and hence calculates the length of the simple pendulum as: (Take π2=9.8\pi^{2} = 9.8, and g=9.8 m/s2g = 9.8\text{ m/s}^{2})

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. Period T=6030=2 sT = \frac{60}{30} = 2\text{ s}.
  2. T=2πL/g⇒L=gT24π2=9.8×44×9.8T = 2\pi\sqrt{L/g} \Rightarrow L = \frac{gT^2}{4\pi^2} = \frac{9.8 \times 4}{4 \times 9.8}.
  3. So the answer is (d) 1 m1\text{ m}.
