    The bob of a simple pendulum executes SHM in water with a period\[t\], while the period of oscillation of the bob is \[{{t}_{0}}\] in air. Neglecting the frictional force of water and given that the density of the bob is\[(4/3)\,\times 1000\,kg/{{m}^{3}}\]. What relationship between \[t\] and \[{{t}_{0}}\] is true?

    A) \[{{t}_{{}}}={{t}_{0}}\]        

    B) \[{{t}_{{}}}=4{{t}_{0}}\]

    C) \[{{t}_{{}}}=2{{t}_{0}}\]      

    D) \[{{t}_{{}}}={{t}_{0}}/2\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] in air, the time period of the bob is \[{{t}_{0}}=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}\] In water apparent weight  \[m{g}'=\frac{4}{3}\pi {{r}^{3}}{{\rho }_{s}}g-\frac{4}{3}\pi {{r}^{3}}{{\rho }_{w}}g\] \[m{g}'=\frac{4}{3}\pi {{r}^{3}}\rho g\left( 1-\frac{{{\rho }_{w}}}{{{\rho }_{s}}} \right)=mg\left( 1-\frac{3}{4} \right)\frac{mg}{4}\Rightarrow \text{ }{g}'=g/4\] In water, the time period of the bob \[t=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{1}{g'}}=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{4l}{g}}=2{{t}_{0}}\]
