                    The time period of a simple pendulum is 2 s. If its length is increased by 4 times, then its period becomes:

    A)                                                                                                                                                                            16 s

    B)                 12 s  

    C)                 8 s

    D)                 4 s

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                    Time period of simple pendulum                                 \[T=2\pi \frac{\sqrt{l}}{g}\]                 i.e.,        \[T\propto \sqrt{l}\]                 Hence,  \[\frac{{{T}_{2}}}{{{T}_{1}}}=\sqrt{\frac{{{l}_{2}}}{{{l}_{1}}}}\]                 Given,   \[{{l}_{2}}=4{{l}_{1}},\,{{T}_{1}}=2s\]                       Substituting the values in Eq. (i), we get                 \[{{T}_{2}}=\sqrt{\frac{4{{l}_{1}}}{{{l}_{1}}}}\times 2=2\times 2=4\,s\]
