Work Energy and Power - Result Question 23

26. In a simple pendulum of length l the bob is pulled aside from its equilibrium position through an angle θ and then released. The bob passes through the equilibrium position with speed

[2000]

(a) 2g(1+cosθ)

(b) 2gsinθ

(c) 2g

(d) 2g(1cosθ)

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 26. (d)

Solution:

  1. (d) If1 is length of pendulum and θ be angular amplitude then height

h=ABAC=11cosθ=1(1cosθ)

At extreme position, potential energy is maximum and kinetic energy is zero; At mean (equilibrium) position potential energy is zero and kinetic energy is maximum, so from principle of conservation of energy.

(KE+PE) at P=(KE+PE) at B

0+mgh=12mv2+0

v=2gh=2g(1cosθ)
