Answer:
Correct Answer: 57. (c)
Solution:
- (c) Let the pendulums be in phase after
of start. Within this time, if the bigger pendulum executes oscillations, the smaller one will have executed oscillations.
Now, the time of
& the time of
To be in phase
or,
or,
Hence, the no. of oscillations executed by shorter pendulum
58 .
(c)
On putting the value of
