A simple pendulum is vibrating in an evacuated chamber. It will oscillate with

  1. A constant amplitude
  2. B decreasing amplitude
  3. C increasing amplitude
  4. D amplitude, the variation of which cannot be predicted
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) constant amplitude

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Since, the amplitude of simple pendulum depends on the net force acting on bob. As, in the vacuum, no external air dragging force acts on bob other than gravity. That's why amplitude remains constant in vacuum.
