Question

10.

Answer 1

Answer:

The new period of oscillation is D) 3.0 T

Explanation:

Simple Pendulum

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

$T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}$

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:

$T'=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L'}{g}}$

$T'=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{9L}{g}}$

Taking out the square root of 9 (3):

$T'=3*2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}$

Substituting the original T:

$T'=3*T$

The new period of oscillation is D) 3.0 T
