Length of rectangular barge=5.2 m
Width of rectangular barge=2.4m
Mass of crate=410 kg
Let h be the height of barge float
Volume of barge float=
Density of water=
Weight of water displaced by barge=Buoyant force=-Weight of horse
1 m=100 cm
cm
Hence, the depth of barge float=3 cm
<h2 />Answer:
<em>The new period of oscillation is D) 3.0 T</em>
Explanation:
<u>Simple Pendulum</u>
A simple pendulum is a mechanical arrangement that describes periodic motion. The simple pendulum is made of a small bob of mass 'm' suspended by a thin inextensible string.
The period of a simple pendulum is given by
Where L is its length and g is the local acceleration of gravity.
If the length of the pendulum was increased to 9 times (L'=9L), the new period of oscillation will be:
Taking out the square root of 9 (3):
Substituting the original T:
The new period of oscillation is D) 3.0 T
