The bob of a 0.2 m pendulum describs an ...

The bob of a 0.2 m pendulum describs an arc of circle in a vertical plane. If the tension in the cord is `sqrt(3)` times the weight of the bob when the cord makes an angle `30^(@)` with the vertical, the acceleration of the bob in that position is `g//n`. Find value of `n`.

A

g

B

`(g)/(2)`

C

`(sqrt3g)/(2)`

D

`(g)/(4)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

`a=sqrt(a_(n)^(2)+a_(t)^(2))=sqrt(((T-"mg cos 30"^(@))/(m))^(2)+("g sin 30")^(2))`
`=gsqrt((sqrt3-(sqrt3)/(2))^(2)+((1)/(4)))=g`
