The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we need to analyze the given information about the two pendulums and their vibrational energies. ### Given: 1. Mass of the first pendulum bob: \( M_1 \) 2. Length of the first pendulum: \( L_1 \) 3. Mass of the second pendulum bob: \( M_2 \) 4. Length of the second pendulum: \( L_2 \) 5. Conditions: \( M_1 = M_2 \) and \( L_1 = 2L_2 \) 6. The vibrational energy of both pendulums is the same. ### Step 1: Write the formula for the frequency of a simple pendulum The frequency \( f \) of a simple pendulum is given by: \[ f = \frac{1}{2\pi} \sqrt{\frac{g}{L}} \] where \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity and \( L \) is the length of the pendulum. ### Step 2: Determine the frequencies of both pendulums For the first pendulum: \[ f_1 = \frac{1}{2\pi} \sqrt{\frac{g}{L_1}} \] For the second pendulum: \[ f_2 = \frac{1}{2\pi} \sqrt{\frac{g}{L_2}} \] ### Step 3: Substitute \( L_1 \) in terms of \( L_2 \) Since \( L_1 = 2L_2 \), we can substitute this into the frequency formula for \( f_1 \): \[ f_1 = \frac{1}{2\pi} \sqrt{\frac{g}{2L_2}} = \frac{1}{2\pi} \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \sqrt{\frac{g}{L_2}} = \frac{f_2}{\sqrt{2}} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the ratio of frequencies From the above, we have: \[ \frac{f_1}{f_2} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \quad \text{or} \quad f_2 = \sqrt{2} f_1 \] ### Step 5: Write the expression for vibrational energy The vibrational energy \( E \) of a pendulum is given by: \[ E = \frac{1}{2} m \omega^2 A^2 \] where \( \omega = 2\pi f \) and \( A \) is the amplitude. ### Step 6: Set the energies equal Since the energies are the same: \[ E_1 = E_2 \implies \frac{1}{2} M_1 \omega_1^2 A_1^2 = \frac{1}{2} M_2 \omega_2^2 A_2^2 \] Given \( M_1 = M_2 \), we can cancel the mass terms: \[ \omega_1^2 A_1^2 = \omega_2^2 A_2^2 \] ### Step 7: Substitute \( \omega \) in terms of frequency We know that \( \omega = 2\pi f \): \[ (2\pi f_1)^2 A_1^2 = (2\pi f_2)^2 A_2^2 \] This simplifies to: \[ f_1^2 A_1^2 = f_2^2 A_2^2 \] ### Step 8: Substitute the frequency ratio Using \( f_2 = \sqrt{2} f_1 \): \[ f_1^2 A_1^2 = ( \sqrt{2} f_1 )^2 A_2^2 \] This gives: \[ f_1^2 A_1^2 = 2 f_1^2 A_2^2 \] Cancelling \( f_1^2 \) (assuming \( f_1 \neq 0 \)): \[ A_1^2 = 2 A_2^2 \] Taking the square root: \[ A_1 = \sqrt{2} A_2 \] ### Conclusion Thus, the amplitude of the first pendulum \( A_1 \) is greater than the amplitude of the second pendulum \( A_2 \). ### Final Answer The correct statement is that \( A_1 > A_2 \). ---
