In an experiment, a boy plots a graph between v max 2 and a max 2 for a simple pendulum for different values of (small) amplitudes, where v max and a max is the maximum velocity and the maximum acceleration respectively. He found the graph to be a straight line with a negative slope, making an angle of 30 ° when the experiment was conducted on the earth surface. When the same experiment was conducted at a height h ab
Options
- A0 . 5 R
- B0 . 24 R
- C0 . 7 3 R
- DR
Correct answer
C. 0 . 7 3 R
Step-by-step solution
For a simple pendulum, ω = g l v max = A ω a max = - A ω 2 v max a max 2 = 1 ω 2 = tan θ ⇒ ω = g l = 1 tan  θ ∴    g = l tan  θ ∴    g surface g height = tan60° tan30° = R + h 2 R 2 ⇒ h = 0 . 7 3 R
