In an experiment to determine the gravitational acceleration gg of a place with the help of a simple pendulum, the measured time period squared is plotted against the string length of the pendulum in the figure. What is the value of gg at the place?

Options

  1. A10.0ms−210 . 0m{s}^{- 2}
  2. B9.87ms−29 . 87m{s}^{- 2}
  3. C9.91ms−29 . 91m{s}^{- 2}
  4. D9.81ms−29 . 81m{s}^{- 2}

Correct answer

B. 9.87ms−29 . 87m{s}^{- 2}

Step-by-step solution

T=2πLgT = 2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{L}{g}}

⇒g=4π2LT2⇒ g = \dfrac{4{π}^{2}L}{T2}

T2L=4π2g=tanθ=\dfrac{T2}{L} = \dfrac{4{π}^{2}}{g} = tan \theta =slope of graph

⇒g=4π2tanθ⇒ g = \dfrac{4{π}^{2}}{tanθ}

∵tanθ=8−2∵ tan \theta = 8 - 22−0.5\begin{array}{ll}2 - 0.5\end{array}=61.5=4= \dfrac{6}{1.5} = 4

⇒g=4π24=(3.14)2=π2=(3.14)2=9.87ms−2⇒ g = \dfrac{4{π}^{2}}{4} = {( 3.14 )}^{2}= {π}^{2} = \left(3 . 14\right)2 = 9 . 87ms^{- 2}
