A simple pendulum of length l has a maximum angular displacement . The maximum kinetic energy of the bob is
Options
- Am g l(1- )
- B0.5 mgl
- Cmgl
- D0.5 mgl
Correct answer
A. m g l(1- )
Step-by-step solution
Here : length of pendulum =l maximum angular displacement = mass of the bob =m Now height of the bob at maximum angular displacement is h=l-l =l(1- ) Also at the end of the displacement kinetic energy of the bob = potential energy of the bob =m g h=m g l(1- )
