In an experiment to determine the period of a simple pendulum of length $1\, m$,it is attached to different spherical bobs of radii $r_1$ and $r_2$. The two spherical bobs have uniform mass distribution. If the relative difference in the periods is found to be $5 \times 10^{-4}$,the difference in radii,$|r_1 - r_2|$,is best given by .... $cm$.

  • A
    $1$
  • B
    $0.1$
  • C
    $0.5$
  • D
    $0.01$

Two simple pendulums of lengths $L_1$ and $L_2$ have time periods $T_1$ and $T_2$ respectively, where $T_1 > T_2$. What is the time period of a simple pendulum of length $(L_1 - L_2)$?

$A$ simple pendulum is suspended in a lift which is going up with an acceleration $5 \ m/s^2$. An electric field of magnitude $5 \ N/C$ and directed vertically upward is also present in the lift. The charge of the bob is $1 \ mC$ and mass is $1 \ mg$. Taking $g = \pi^2 \ m/s^2$ and length of the simple pendulum $1 \ m$,the time period of the simple pendulum is ...... $s$.
