A simple pendulum of time period 1s and length l is hung from a fixed support at O, such that the bob is at a distance H vertically above A on the ground (Fig) The amplitude is θ o . The string snaps at θ = θ0 /2. Find the time taken by the bob to hit the ground. Also find distance from A where bob hits the ground. Assume θ0 to be small so that sin o 0 and cos 0

    This is a long answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar

    Let us assume t=0 when θ = θ o then θ = θ 0coswt

    Given a seconds pendulum w=2 π

    θ = θ o c o s 2 π t

    At time t, let θ = θ o / 2

    Cos2 π t 1 = 1 2  , t1=1/6

    d θ d t =-( θ o 2 π )sin2 π t

    t=t1=1/6

    d θ d t =- θ o 2 π sin 2 π 6 = - 3 π θ o

    the linear velocity is u=- 3 π θ o l

    the vertical component is Uy= - 3 π l s i n θ o 2

    the horizontal component Ux=- - 3 π l c o s θ o 2

    at the time it snaps the vertical height is

    H’=H+l(1-cos θ o 2 )

    Let the time require for fall be t , then

    H’= H+l (1 - c o s θ o 2 )

    Let the time required for fall be at t then

    H’=uyt+1/2 gt2

    1/2gt2+ 3 π θ o l s i n θ o 2 t - H ' = 0

    t= - 3 π θ 0 s i n θ o 2 ± 3 π 2 θ o 2 s i n 2 θ o 2 + 2 g H ' g

    given that θ o is small , hence neglecting terms of order θ o 2 and higher

    t= 2 H ' g

    H’ H + l ( 1 - 1 )

    t= 2 H g

    the distance travelled in the x direction is
