$A$ simple pendulum of length $L$ is constructed from a point object of mass $m$ suspended by a massless string attached to a fixed pivot point. $A$ small peg is placed at a distance $2L/3$ directly below the fixed pivot point so that the pendulum would swing as shown in the figure. The mass is displaced $5$ degrees from the vertical and released. How long does it take to return to its starting position?

  • A
    $\pi\sqrt{\frac{L}{g}} \left(1 + \sqrt{\frac{2}{3}}\right)$
  • B
    $\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}} \left(2 + \sqrt{\frac{2}{3}}\right)$
  • C
    $\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}} \left(1 + \frac{1}{3}\right)$
  • D
    $\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}} \left(1 + \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\right)$

In an experiment for determining the gravitational acceleration $g$ of a place with the help of a simple pendulum,the measured time period square $(T^2)$ is plotted against the string length $(L)$ of the pendulum as shown in the figure. What is the value of $g$ at the place in $m/s^2$?

$A$ simple pendulum of length $1 \ m$ and having a bob of mass $100 \ g$ is suspended in a car, moving on a circular track of radius $100 \ m$ with uniform speed $10 \ m/s$. If the pendulum makes small oscillations in a radial direction about its equilibrium position, then its time period is given by $T = 2\pi / \alpha^{1/4}$. The value of $\alpha$ is (Take $g = 10 \ m/s^2$)
