As illustrated in the figure, a lady wears an ear-ring suspended by a light wire of length . Determine the time period of small oscillations of the ear-ring when the lady is standing on the ground.

Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
D.
Step-by-step solution
The ear-ring suspended by a light wire can be considered as a simple pendulum.
The time period of small oscillations for a simple pendulum is given by:
Given:
Length of the wire,
Acceleration due to gravity,
Substituting the values into the formula:
