Two simple pendulums of length 1 ~m and 4 ~m respectively are both given small displacement in the same direction at the same instant. They will be again in phase after the shorter pendulum has completed number of oscillations equal to:

Options

  1. A2
  2. B7
  3. C5
  4. D3

Correct answer

A. 2

Step-by-step solution

Let T₁ and T₂ be the time period of the two pendulums T ₁=2 1 ~g and T ₂=2 4 ~g As ₁ < ₂ therefore T ₁ < T ₂ Let at t =0 they start swinging together. Since their time periods are different, the swinging will not be in unison always. Only when number of completed oscillations differ by an integer, the two pendulums will again begin to swing together Let longer length pendulum complete n oscillation and shorter length pendulum complete (n+1) oscillation. For unison swinging aligned & (n+1) T₁=n₂ & (n+1) 2 1 g =(n) 2
