    Two pendulums begin to swing simultaneously. If the ratio of the frequency of oscillations of the two is 7 : 8, then the ratio of lengths of the two pendulums will be [J & K CET 2005]

    A)            7 : 8                                          

    B)            8 : 7

    C)            49 : 64                                     

    D)            64 : 49

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                       Suppose at \[t=0\], pendulums begins to swing simultaneously.                    Hence, they will again swing simultaneously                    if \[{{n}_{1}}{{T}_{1}}={{n}_{2}}{{T}_{2}}\]            \[\Rightarrow \] \[\frac{{{n}_{1}}}{{{n}_{2}}}=\frac{{{T}_{2}}}{{{T}_{1}}}=\sqrt{\frac{{{l}_{2}}}{{{l}_{1}}}}\Rightarrow \frac{{{l}_{1}}}{{{l}_{2}}}={{\left( \frac{{{n}_{2}}}{{{n}_{1}}} \right)}^{2}}={{\left( \frac{8}{7} \right)}^{2}}=\frac{64}{49}\]
