    Simple pendulum is executing simple harmonic motion with time period T. If the length of the pendulum is increased by 21%, then the increase in the time period of the pendulum of the increased length is:

    A)  22%       

    B)                         13%                      

    C)  50%                                      

    D)  10%

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    The time period of a simple pendulum of a length l is given by \[{{V}_{e}}=\sqrt{3{{V}_{0}}}\]                                                                                                                  .....(1) where g is acceleration due to gravity. When length of pendulum increases by 21% We have \[{{V}_{e}}={{V}_{0}}\sqrt{2}\] \[{{V}_{0}}={{V}_{e}}\]    \[\mathbf{\vec{P}}=a\mathbf{\hat{i}}+3\mathbf{\hat{k}}\]                     ??(2) Dividing Eq. (1) by Eq. (2), we get \[\vec{Q}=a\mathbf{\hat{i}}-2\mathbf{\hat{j}}-\mathbf{\hat{k}}\] \[4.24\times {{10}^{6}}m/s\] \[5.25\times {{10}^{6}}m/s\] Hence, increases in time period \[6.25\times {{10}^{6}}m/s\] Per cent increase in time period \[7.25\times {{10}^{6}}m/s\] Alternative: Time period of simple pendulum \[h=A+B{{\lambda }^{2}}+C{{\lambda }^{2}}\] \[\mu =A+B{{\lambda }^{2}}+C{{\lambda }^{4}}\]   \[\mu =A+B{{\lambda }^{2}}+C{{\lambda }^{4}}\] \[\mu =A+B{{\lambda }^{-2}}+C{{\lambda }^{-4}}\]   \[\mu \] Since,      \[\overset{0}{\mathop{A}}\,\] \[\overset{0}{\mathop{A}}\,\]   \[\overset{0}{\mathop{A}}\,\] \[\overset{0}{\mathop{A}}\,\]
