Four pendulums (A, B, C ) and (D ) are hanged from the same elastic support as shown in the figure. (A ) and (C ) are of the same length while (B ) is smaller than (A, C ) while (D ) is longer than (A ). If (A ) is given displacement, then at steady state
Options
- A(D ) will vibrate with max amplitude
- B(C ) will vibrate with max amplitude
- CB will vibrate with max amplitude
- DAll four will oscillate with equal amplitude
Correct answer
B. (C ) will vibrate with max amplitude
Step-by-step solution
According to given diagram, length of pendulum (A ) and (C ) is same. Hence, time period ( (T=2 l g ) ) of pendulum (A ) and (C ) is also same. Therefore, they have same frequency of oscillation. Due to this, resonance takes place and the pendulum (C ) will vibrate with maximum amplitude.
