Oscillations - Result Question 35

39. A pendulum is hung from the roof of a sufficiently high building and is moving freely to and fro like a simple harmonic oscillator. The acceleration of the bob of the pendulum is 20 m/s2 at a distance of 5m from the mean position. The time period of oscillation is

(a) 2πs

(b) πs

(c) 1s

(d) 2s

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 39. (b)

Solution:

  1. (b) From question, acceleration, a=20m/s2, and displacement, y=5m

|a|=ω2y

20=ω2(5)

ω=2rad/s

Time period of pendulum,

T=2πω=2π2=πs
