NEET2026PhysicsOscillationsActual
Savitha, a XI standard student, while conducting an experiment to determine the effective length of a simple pendulum L, notes down the data of time taken to complete 30 oscillations as 60 s and hence calculates the length of the simple pendulum as : (Take ^2 = 9.8 , and g = 9.8 m/s ^2 )
Options
- A0.75 m
- B1.5 m
- C2 m
- D1 m
Correct answer
D. 1 m
Step-by-step solution
Time period T = 60 30 = 2 s. The formula for the time period of a simple pendulum is T = 2 L g . Squaring both sides, we get T^2 = 4 ^2 L g . Substituting the given values T = 2 s, ^2 = 9.8 , and g = 9.8 m/s ^2 : (2)^2 = 4 9.8 L 9.8 4 = 4L L = 1 m. Answer: 1 m
