In an experiment to determine the period of a simple pendulum of length \(1\, m\), it is attached to different spherical bobs of radii \(r_1\) and \(r_2\) . The two spherical bobs have uniform mass distribution. If the relative difference in the periods, is found to be \(5\times10^{-4}\, s\), the difference in radii, \(\left| {{r_1} - {r_2}} \right|\) is best given by .... \(cm\)

  1. A \(1\)
  2. B \(0.1\)
  3. C \(0.5\)
  4. D \(0.01\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(0.1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

As we know, Time-period of simple pendulum, T \(\propto \sqrt{l}\) \(5 \times {10^{ - 4}} = \frac{1}{2}\frac{{{r_1} - {r_2}}}{1}\) \(\because\) change in length \(\Delta l=r_{1}-r_{2}\) \(5 \times {10^{ - 4}} = \frac{1}{2}\frac{{{r_1} - {r_2}}}{1}\)…
