Step 1
The period \( T \) of a simple pendulum is given by the formula: \[ T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}} \] where \( L \) is the length of the pendulum and \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity. The mass of the pendulum bob does not appear in this formula. Show more…

6. When the length of a simple pendulum is tripled, the time required for one complete vibration increases by a factor of 3. increases by factor of √3. does not change decreases to 1/√3 of its original value 7. Both pendulum A and B are 3.0 m long. The period of A is T. Pendulum A is twice as heavy as pendulum B. What is the period of B? 0.5T T 1.4T 2T 8. An object undergoes SHM and position as a function of time is presented by the following formula: x= (0.1 m) Sin (2πt). What is the period of oscillations? 2 s 1 s 0.5 s 0.1 s
Kajal R.
In order to increase the period of oscillation of a simple pendulum by a factor of 2, the length of the simple pendulum must be: decreased by a factor of 2. increased by a factor of 4. left unchanged. increased by a factor of 2. decreased by a factor of 4.
