Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To derive the expression for the time period (T) of a simple pendulum, we will follow a systematic approach using dimensional analysis. The time period of a pendulum is influenced by the mass of the bob (m), the length of the pendulum (L), and the acceleration due to gravity (g). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Assume the Relationship**: We assume that the time period \( T \) can be expressed as: \[ T = k \cdot m^A \cdot L^B \cdot g^C ...

How time period of a simple pendulum depends on the acceleration due to gravity ?

Consider a simple pendulum, having a bob attached to a string that oscillates under the action of the force of gravity. Suppose that the period of oscillation of the simple pendulum depends on its length (1), mass of the bob (m) and acceleration due to gravity (g). Derive the expression for its time period using method of dimensions.
