    The bob of a simple pendulum executes simple harmonic motion in water with a period t, while the period of oscillation of the bob is to in air. Neglecting 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)        \[t={{t}_{0}}/2\]              

    C)        \[t=2{{t}_{0}}\]

    D)        \[t=4{{t}_{0}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    The time period of simple pendulum in air \[T={{t}_{0}}=2\pi \sqrt{\left( \frac{l}{g} \right)}\]                             ?.(i) \[l,\]being the length of simple pendulum. In water, effective weight of bob \[w'=\]weight of bob in air - upthrust \[\Rightarrow \] \[\rho V{{g}_{eff}}=mg-m'g\] \[=\rho Vg-\rho 'Vg=(\rho -\rho ')Vg\] where\[\rho '=\]density of bob, \[\rho =\]density of water. \[\therefore \] \[{{g}_{eff}}=\left( \frac{\rho -\rho '}{\rho } \right)g=\left( 1-\frac{\rho '}{\rho } \right)g\] \[\therefore \] \[t=2\pi \sqrt{\left[ \frac{l}{\left( 1-\frac{\rho '}{\rho } \right)g} \right]}\]                              ?..(ii) Thus, \[\frac{t}{{{t}_{0}}}=\sqrt{\left[ \frac{1}{\left( 1-\frac{\rho '}{\rho } \right)} \right]}\] [dividing Eq. (ii) by Eq. (i)] \[=\sqrt{\left( \frac{1}{1-\frac{1000}{(4/3)\times 1000}} \right)}=\sqrt{\left( \frac{4}{4-3} \right)}\] \[=2\Rightarrow t=2{{t}_{0}}\]
