A pendulum is executing simple harmonic motion and its maximum kinetic energy is \(K_1\). If the length of the pendulum is doubled and it performs simple harmonic motion with the same amplitude as in the first case, its maximum kinetic energy is \(K_2\) then
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \({K_2} = 2{K_1}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Maximum kinetic energy at lowest point \(B\) is given by
\(\mathrm{K}=\mathrm{mg} \ell(1-\cos \theta)\)
where \(\theta=\) angular amp.
\(\mathrm{K}_{1}=\mathrm{mg} \ell(1-\cos \theta)\)
\(\mathrm{K}_{2}=\mathrm{mg}(2 \ell)(1-\cos \theta)\)
\(\mathrm{K}_{2}=2 \mathrm{K}_{1}\)
