The motion of a simple pendulum executing S.H.M. is represented by the following equation. y = A s i n ( π t + ϕ ) ,  where time is measured in second.

The length of pendulum is

According to question, we can write

ω = π = g l ⇒ l = g π 2 = 9 . 8 ( 3 . 1 4 ) 2 = 0 . 9 9 3 9 5   = 9 9 . 4 c m

Time period of a simple pendulum is T inside a lift when the lift is stationary. If the lift moves upwards with an acceleration g / 2, the time period of pendulum will be:

A pendulum bob has a speed of 3 m/s at its lowest position. The pendulum is 50 cm long. The speed of the bob, when the length makes an angle of 60° to the vertical will be _______ m/s. (g = 10 m/s²)

(1/2)mu² = (1/2)mv² + mgl (1-cosθ)
⇒ v² = u² - 2gl (1-cosθ)
⇒ v² = 3² - 2×10×0.5× (1 - 1/2)
⇒ v² = 9 - 5 = 4
v = 2m/s

 

Time period of a simple pendulum is T. The time taken to complete   5 8 oscillations starting from mean position is α β T .  The value of a is………..
