A pendulum is hung from the roof of a
sufficiently high building and is moving freely
to and fro like a simple harmonic oscillator.
The acceleration of the bob of the pendulum
is 20 m s–2 at a distance of 5 m from the mean
position. The time period of oscillation is
- A2 s
- Bs
- C2 s
- D1 s
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
Given, acceleration, a = 20 m/s2,
and displacement, y = 5m
Magnitude of acceleration of a particle
moving in a SHM is, |a| = y; where y is amplitude.
20 = (5)
