Question

There are 100 simple pendulums in a room having identical bobs which are displaced to different extents but only 25 of these pendulums have different time periods. What do you think would be the reason?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The time period of a simple pendulum is given by :

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

L is length of the pendulum and g is acceleration due to gravity

It is very much clear that the time period depends on the length of the pendulum.

In this problem, there are 100 simple pendulums in a room having identical bobs which are displaced to different extents but only 25 of these pendulums have different time periods. The only reason for 25 pendulums having different time periods is that they have different lengths than the other 75 pendulums.
