The acceleration due to gravity on the surface of moon is 1.7 ms–2. What is the time period of a simple pendulum on the surface of moon if its time period on the surface of earth is 3.5 s? (g on the surface of earth is 9.8 ms–2)
Answer the following questions:
A time period of a particle in SHM depends on the force constant k and mass m of the particle: `T = 2pi sqrt(m/k)` A simple pendulum executes SHM approximately. Why then is the time
Answer the following questions:
The motion of a simple pendulum is approximately simple harmonic for small angle oscillations. For larger angles of oscillation, a more involved analysis shows that T is greater than `2pisqrt(1/g)` Think of a qualitative argument to appreciate this result.
