A ring with mass mm and radius rr is suspended from a point on its periphery. Find the time period of its small oscillations.

Options

  1. A2πrg2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{r}{g}}
  2. B2π3r2g2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{3r}{2g}}
  3. C2πr2g2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{r}{2g}}
  4. D2π2rg2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{2r}{g}}

Correct answer

D. 2π2rg2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{2r}{g}}

Step-by-step solution

The time period of a physical pendulum is given by T=2πImgdT = 2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{I}{mgd}}, where II is the moment of inertia about the point of suspension and dd is the distance from the point of suspension to the center of mass.

For a ring of mass mm and radius rr, the moment of inertia about its center of mass is Icm=mr2I_{cm} = mr^2.

Using the parallel axis theorem, the moment of inertia about a point on its periphery is I=Icm+md2=mr2+mr2=2mr2I = I_{cm} + md^2 = mr^2 + mr^2 = 2mr^2.

The distance from the point of suspension to the center of mass is d=rd = r.

Substituting these values into the time period formula, we get T=2π2mr2mgr=2π2rgT = 2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{2mr^2}{mgr}} = 2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{2r}{g}}.
