The length of a simple pendulum is increased by a factor of 4. Its period will be Group of answer choices A.) halved B.) doubled C.) unchanged D.) increased by a factor of 4
Added by Jeremy M.
Step 1
Step 1: The period of a simple pendulum is given by \( T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}} \), where \( T \) is the period, \( L \) is the length of the pendulum, and \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity. Show more…

Time period of a simple pendulum will be double, if we (a) Decrease the length 2 times (b) Decrease the length 4 times (c) Increase the length 2 times (d) Increase the length 4 times

If the period of a simple pendulum is $T$ and we increase its length so that it's four times longer, what will the new period be? A. $\mathrm{T} / 2^{T / 2}$ B. $T$ C. $2 T$ D. $4 T$ E. It is unchanged.
The period of a pendulum (the time elapsed during one complete swing of the pendulum) varies directly with the square root of the length of the pendulum. a. Express this relationship by writing an equation. b. To double the period, how would we have to change the length $l$ ?
