    The time period of a simple pendulum is 2s. If its length is increased by 4 times, then its period becomes: [AIPMT 1999]

    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
                            \[{{T}_{2}}=\sqrt{\frac{4{{l}_{1}}}{{{l}_{1}}}}\times 2=2\times 2=4\,s\]
