Question

9) What will happen to the period of a pendulum if we change the rope of a pendulum with another which is four times with the initial? B. halved A. double C. tripled D increase four times .​

Answer 1

Double

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the period T of a pendulum is given by

`T = 2\pi \sqrt{(l)/(g)}`

By increasing the length of the pendulum by 4, the period becomes

`T' = 2\pi \sqrt{(4l)/(g)} = 2\left(2\pi \sqrt{(l)/(g)}\right) = 2T`

You can see that the period doubles when we increase the length by a factor of 4.
