The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will follow the reasoning outlined in the video transcript. ### Step 1: Define the Variables Let: - \( L_1 \) = length of the first pendulum (in cm) - \( L_2 \) = length of the second pendulum (in cm) - The difference in lengths: \( L_2 - L_1 = 2200 \) cm (since 22 m = 2200 cm) ### Step 2: Relate Time Periods to Lengths The time period \( T \) of a pendulum is given by the formula: \[ T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}} \] From this, we know that the time period is directly proportional to the square root of the length: \[ T \propto \sqrt{L} \] Thus, we can write: \[ \frac{T_1}{T_2} = \sqrt{\frac{L_1}{L_2}} \] ### Step 3: Relate Oscillations to Time Periods Given that pendulum 1 makes 30 oscillations and pendulum 2 makes 36 oscillations in the same time \( t \), we can express the time periods as: \[ T_1 = \frac{t}{30} \quad \text{and} \quad T_2 = \frac{t}{36} \] ### Step 4: Substitute Time Periods into the Ratio Substituting the expressions for \( T_1 \) and \( T_2 \) into the ratio gives: \[ \frac{\frac{t}{30}}{\frac{t}{36}} = \sqrt{\frac{L_1}{L_2}} \] This simplifies to: \[ \frac{36}{30} = \sqrt{\frac{L_1}{L_2}} \] \[ \frac{6}{5} = \sqrt{\frac{L_1}{L_2}} \] ### Step 5: Square Both Sides Squaring both sides results in: \[ \left(\frac{6}{5}\right)^2 = \frac{L_1}{L_2} \] \[ \frac{36}{25} = \frac{L_1}{L_2} \] This implies: \[ 36L_1 = 25L_2 \quad \text{(Equation 1)} \] ### Step 6: Set Up the Length Difference Equation From the problem, we know: \[ L_2 - L_1 = 2200 \quad \text{(in cm)} \] Substituting \( L_2 \) from Equation 1 into this equation: \[ L_2 = \frac{36}{25}L_1 \] Substituting this into the length difference equation: \[ \frac{36}{25}L_1 - L_1 = 2200 \] ### Step 7: Solve for \( L_1 \) Rearranging gives: \[ \frac{36L_1 - 25L_1}{25} = 2200 \] \[ \frac{11L_1}{25} = 2200 \] Multiplying both sides by 25: \[ 11L_1 = 55000 \] Dividing by 11: \[ L_1 = 5000 \text{ cm} = 50 \text{ cm} \] ### Step 8: Find \( L_2 \) Using \( L_2 = \frac{36}{25}L_1 \): \[ L_2 = \frac{36}{25} \times 50 = 72 \text{ cm} \] ### Final Answer The lengths of the pendulums are: - \( L_1 = 50 \) cm - \( L_2 = 72 \) cm
