The frequency of a simple pendulum is n ...

The frequency of a simple pendulum is `n` oscillations per minute while that of another is `(n + 1)` oscillations per minute. The ratio of length of first second is-

A

`(n)/(n+1)`

B

`(n+(1)/(n))^(2)`

C

`((n+1)/(n))^(2)`

D

`((n)/(n+1))^(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

`T = 1/f = 2pisqrt((l)/(g)) rArr f = (1)/(2pi) sqrt((g)/(l))`
`(f_(1))/(f_(2)) = sqrt((l_(2))/(l_(1))) rArr ((n)/(n+1))^(2) = (l_(2))/(l_(1)) rArr = (l_(1))/(l_(2)) = ((n+1)/(n))^(2)`

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.
