    A heavy brass sphere is hung from a weightless inelastic spring and as a simple pendulum its time period of oscillation is T. When the sphere is immersed in a non-viscous liquid of density 1/10 that of brass, it will act as a simple pendulum of period :

    A) \[T\]

    B)  \[\frac{10}{9}T\]

    C)  \[\sqrt{\left( \frac{9}{10} \right)}T\]

    D)  \[\sqrt{\left( \frac{10}{9} \right)}T\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     The time period pendulum in air \[T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}\] ?(i) \[l\]being the length of simple pendulum. In liquid, effective weight of sphere \[w'=\]weight of bob in air - up thrust \[\Rightarrow \] \[\rho v{{g}_{ff}}=mg-m'g\] \[=\rho vg=\rho 'vg=(\rho -\rho ')vg\] where\[\rho '=\]density of sphere \[\rho =\]density of liquid \[\therefore \] \[{{g}_{eff}}=\left( \frac{\rho -\rho /10}{\rho } \right)g=\frac{9}{10}g\] Thus, \[T'=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{{{g}_{eff}}}}=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{\frac{9}{10}g}}\] \[\frac{T'}{T}=\sqrt{\frac{10}{9}}\] or \[T'=\sqrt{\frac{10}{9}}\,T\]
