Question

A pendulum has a 0.35\ \text{kg}0.35 kg0, point, 35, space, start text, k, g, end text mass oscillating at a small angle from a light string of length 1.0\ \text{m}1.0 m1, point, 0, space, start text, m, end text. What is the frequency of oscillation?

Answer 1

The frequency of oscillation of the simple pendulum is 0.49 Hz.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the simple pendulum, m = 0.35 kg

Length of the string to which it is attached, l = 1 m

We need to find the frequency of oscillation. The frequency of oscillation of the simple pendulum is given by :

`f=(1)/(2\pi)\sqrt{(g)/(l)} \\\\f=(1)/(2\pi)\sqrt{(9.8)/(1)} \\\\f=0.49\ Hz`

So, the frequency of oscillation of the simple pendulum is 0.49 Hz. Hence, this is the required solution.
