Answer:
(a). The value of d is 0.056 cm and 1.496 cm.
(b). The time period is 1.35 sec.
Explanation:
Given that,
Length = 50.00 cm
Time period = 2.50 s
Time period of pendulum is defined as the time for one complete cycle.
The period depends on the length of the pendulum.
Using formula of time period
Where, I = moment of inertia
We need to calculate the value of d
Using parallel theorem of moment of inertia
For a meter stick mass m , the rotational inertia about it's center of mass
Where, L = 1 m
Put the value into the formula of time period
Multiplying both sides by d
tex]T^2d=4\pi^2(\dfrac{L^2}{12g}+\dfrac{d^2}{g})[/tex]
Put the value of T, L and g into the formula
The value of d is 0.056 cm and 1.496 cm.
(b). Given that,
L = 50-5 = 45 cm
We need to calculate the time period
Using formula of period
Put the value into the formula
Hence, (a). The value of d is 0.056 cm and 1.496 cm.
(b). The time period is 1.35 sec.
