The time (T ) of oscillation of a simple pendulum of length (L ) is governed by (T=2 L g ), where (g ) is constant. The percentage by which the length be changed in order to correct an error of loss equal to 2 minutes of time per day is
Options
- A(- 5 18 )
- B(- 2 9 )
- C( 1 6 )
- D( 1 9 )
Correct answer
A. (- 5 18 )
Step-by-step solution
For simple pendulum of length (L ), the time of oscillation is ( aligned & T=2 L g T T 100= 1 2 L L & L L %=- 2 2 24 60 100( T=2 ~min ) & =- 10 36 = -5 18 aligned ) ( L L =- 5 18 ) percentage. Hence, option (1) is correct.
