What is the time period of a simple pendulum of length \( L \) and acceleration due to gravity \( g \)?
Show Hint
- \( 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}} \)
- \( 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{g}{L}} \)
- \( \frac{2\pi}{\sqrt{L}} \)
- \( \frac{2\pi}{g} \)
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
The time period \( T \) of a simple pendulum is given by the formula: \[ T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}, \]
where \( L \) is the length of the pendulum and \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity.
Therefore, the correct answer is option (1).

A bob of heavy mass \(m\) is suspended by a light string of length \(l\). The bob is given a horizontal velocity \(v_0\) as shown in figure. If the string gets slack at some point P making an angle \( \theta \) from the horizontal, the ratio of the speed \(v\) of the bob at point P to its initial speed \(v_0\) is :
