Question

A simple pendulum is made by suspending a bob of mass 1 kg by a string of length l. Now if the length of this pendulum is increased to 4l, then its time period T will : (1) remain the same (2) become twice (3) become four times (4) become half

Answer

become twice

Reason

As T ∝ √l

T₁/T₂ = √l₁/√l₂

When l₂ = 4l then,

T₁/T₂ = √l / √4l

T₁/T₂ = √l / 2√l

T₁/T₂ = 1 / 2

T₂ = 2 T₁

Hence, time period T will become twice.
