As illustrated in the figure, a lady wears an ear-ring suspended by a light wire of length 3 cm3 \text{ cm}. Determine the time period of small oscillations of the ear-ring when the lady is standing on the ground.
As illustrated in the figure, a lady wears an ear-ring suspended by a light wire of length 3 cm . Determine the time

Options

  1. A0.68 s0.68 \text{ s}
  2. B0.17 s0.17 \text{ s}
  3. C0.55 s0.55 \text{ s}
  4. D0.34 s0.34 \text{ s}

Correct answer

D. 0.34 s0.34 \text{ s}

Step-by-step solution

The ear-ring suspended by a light wire can be considered as a simple pendulum.

The time period TT of small oscillations for a simple pendulum is given by:

T=2πLgT = 2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{L}{g}}

Given:
Length of the wire, L=3 cm=0.03 mL = 3 \text{ cm} = 0.03 \text{ m}
Acceleration due to gravity, g≈10 m/s2g \approx 10 \text{ m/s}^2

Substituting the values into the formula:

T=2π0.0310T = 2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{0.03}{10}}

T=2×3.14×0.003T = 2 \times 3.14 \times \sqrt{0.003}

T≈6.28×0.0547T \approx 6.28 \times 0.0547

T≈0.34 sT \approx 0.34 \text{ s}
