Simple Pendulum

The angular velocity and the amplitude of a simple pendulum is ω\omega and aa respectively. At a displacement xx from the mean position if its kinetic energy is TT and potential energy is VV, then the ratio of TT to VV is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. T=12mω2(a2−x2)T = \frac{1}{2}m\omega^2(a^2 - x^2) and V=12mω2x2V = \frac{1}{2}m\omega^2x^2.
  2. TV=a2−x2x2\frac{T}{V} = \frac{a^2 - x^2}{x^2}
  3. So the answer is (c).
