    If the length of a simple pendulum is increased by 2%, then the time period:

    A)  increases by 2%

    B)        decreases by 2%

    C)  increases by 1% 

    D)        decreases by 1%

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Given: \[{{l}_{2}}=1.02\,{{l}_{1}}.\] We know that time period \[(T)=2\pi \times \frac{l}{g}\propto \sqrt{l}.\] Therefore\[=\frac{{{T}_{2}}}{{{T}_{1}}}=\sqrt{\frac{{{l}_{2}}}{{{l}_{1}}}}=\sqrt{\frac{1:02\,{{l}_{1}}}{{{l}_{1}}}}=1.01\] Thus time period increases by 1%.
