$A$ pendulum clock is running slow. In order to correct it, we should:

  • A
    reduce the amplitude of oscillation.
  • B
    reduce the mass of the bob.
  • C
    reduce the length of pendulum.
  • D
    increase the length of pendulum.

Savitha, a $XI$ standard student, while conducting an experiment to determine the effective length of a simple pendulum $L$, notes down the data of time taken to complete $30$ oscillations as $60 \text{ s}$ and hence calculates the length of the simple pendulum as: (Take $\pi^2 = 9.8$, and $g = 9.8 \text{ m/s}^2$) (in $\text{ m}$)

Which of the following plots represents schematically the dependence of the time period of a pendulum,if measured and plotted as a function of the amplitude of its oscillations? (Note: amplitude need not be small)

$A$ simple pendulum with a bob of mass $m$ and length $x$ is held in position at an angle $\theta_1$ and then at an angle $\theta_2$ with the vertical. When released from these positions,the speeds with which it passes the lowest position are $v_1$ and $v_2$ respectively. Then,the ratio $\frac{v_1}{v_2}$ is .............

$A$ simple pendulum of length $L$ has mass $m$ and it oscillates freely with amplitude $A$. At the extreme position,its potential energy is (where $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity):
