Using a simple pendulum experiment is determind by measuring its time period . Which of the following plots represent the correct relation between the pendulum length and time period ?







Options
- A

- B

- C

- D

Correct answer
B. 
Step-by-step solution
The time period of a simple pendulum of length is given by the formula:
Squaring both sides, we get:
Rearranging the equation to find the relationship between and :
Let and . The equation becomes:
where is a constant.
This is the equation of a rectangular hyperbola in the first quadrant.
As increases, decreases non-linearly, approaching the axes asymptotically.
Comparing this with the given plots, option (2) correctly represents a hyperbolic relationship between and .
