A simple pendulum is swinging back and forth through a small angle, its motion repeating every 1.06 s. How much longer should the pendulum be made in order to increase its period by 0.32 s?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The pendulum should be made longer by 0.194m in order to increase its period by 0.32s

Explanation:

using the formula T= 2π[tex]\sqrt{\frac{L}{g} }[/tex]

rearranging the equation and making L subject of formula we have;

L=T²g/4π²

lets calculate the length when T=1.06s

g=9.8m/s² , π=3.124

[tex]L=\frac{1.06^{2}*9.8 }{4*3.142^{2} }[/tex]

L=0.279m

the new period after its increased by  0.32s = 1.06+0.32 =1.38s

[tex]L_{2}=\frac{1.38^{2}*9.8 }{4 *3.142^{2} }[/tex]

[tex]L_{2}=0.473m[/tex]

increase in length = 0.473 -0.279

               =0.194m

The pendulum should be "0.194 m" longer.

According to the question,

Time,

  • [tex]T = 1.06 \ s[/tex]

We know,

  • [tex]g = 9.8 \ m/s^2[/tex]
  • [tex]\pi = 3.124[/tex]

By using the formula,

→ [tex]T = 2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g} }[/tex]

or,

→ [tex]L = \frac{T^2g}{4 \pi^2}[/tex]

By substituting the values, we get

→     [tex]= \frac{1.06^2\times 9.8}{4\times 3.142^2}[/tex]

→     [tex]= 0.279 \ m[/tex]

Now,

The new period after it increased by 0.32 s, we get

= [tex]1.06+0.32[/tex]

= [tex]1.38 \ s[/tex]

then,

→ [tex]L_2 = \frac{1.38^2\times 9.8}{4\times 3.142^2}[/tex]

        [tex]= 0.473 \ m[/tex]

hence,

The increase in length will be:

= [tex]L_2-L[/tex]

= [tex]0.473-0.279[/tex]

= [tex]0.194 \ m[/tex]

Thus the answer above is right.
