A simple pendulum is taken from the equator to the pole. Its period………..

A

decreases

B

increases

C

remains same

D

decreases and then increases

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Since earth is not complete sphere. It is flat near pole and `g propto (1)/(R_(e )^(2))`, hence at pole value of g is more and hence periodic time is less at pole. Hence decreases.

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 (l), mass of the bob (m) and acceleration due to gravity (g). Derive the expression for its time period using method of dimensions.

Answer the following question : Time period of a particle in SHM depends on the force constant k and mass m of the particle: T=2pisqrt(m/k) . A simple pendulum executes SHM approximately. Why then is the time period of a pendulum independent of the mass of the pendulum?

While measuring the acceleration due to gravity by a simple pendulum , a student makes a positive error of 1% in the length of the pendulum and a negative error of 3% in the value of time period . His percentage error in the measurement of g by the relation g = 4 pi^(2) ( l // T^(2)) will be
