The length of a displaced pendulum ball which passes its lowest point twice every seconds is [g = 10ms-2]

  • A. 0.25 m
  • B. 0.45 m
  • C. 0.58m
  • D. 1.00m

Correct Answer: A. 0.25 m

Explanation

T = 2\(\pi\) \(\sqrt\frac{L}{g}\)

1 = 2 x 3.142\(\sqrt\frac{L}{10}\)

(since the pendulum pass its lowest point twice in a second, hence the frequency is 1 and period T= \(\frac{1}{F}\))

L= 0.25m
