A simple pendulum oscillating in air has period TT . The bob of the pendulum is completely immersed in a non-viscous liquid. The density of the liquid is 116th\dfrac{1}{16}th of the material of the bob. If the bob is inside liquid all the time, its period of oscillation in this liquid is:

Options

  1. A2T1102T\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{10}}
  2. B2T1142T\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{14}}
  3. C4T1154T\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{15}}
  4. D4T1144T\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{14}}

Correct answer

C. 4T1154T\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{15}}

Step-by-step solution

Let the density of bob is σ\sigma & density of liquid is σ16\dfrac{\sigma}{16} .
Now, Net downward force on bob = Weight - Buoyancy
=\sigmaVg−σ16Vg=1516\sigmaVg= \sigmaVg - \dfrac{\sigma}{16}Vg = \dfrac{15}{16}\sigmaVg
Net effective gravitational acceleration =1516\sigmaVg\sigmaV=1516g= \dfrac{\dfrac{15}{16}\sigmaVg}{\sigmaV} = \dfrac{15}{16}g
Time period \left(T\right) = 2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{l}{{g}_{eff}}} = 2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{l}{\dfrac{15}{16}g}} = 2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{16}{15}\dfrac{l}{g}} = \sqrt{\dfrac{16}{15}} ∙ \left(2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{l}{g}}\right) = \dfrac{4}{\sqrt{15}}T<br/><br />= 4T\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{15}}
