Two simple pendulums having lengths \(l_1\) and \(l_2\) with negligible string mass undergo angular displacements \(\theta_1\) and \(\theta_2\), from their mean positions, respectively. If the angular accelerations of both pendulums are same, then which expression is correct?

  1. A \(\theta_1 l_2^2=\theta_2 l_1^2\)
  2. B \(\theta_1 l_1=\theta_2 l_2\)
  3. C \(\theta_1 l_1^2=\theta_2 l_2^2\)
  4. D \(\theta_1 l_2=\theta_2 l_1\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\theta_1 l_2=\theta_2 l_1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} & \omega=\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{g}}{\ell}} \\ & \alpha=-\omega^2 \theta \\ & \therefore \frac{\mathrm{~g}}{\ell_1} \theta_1=\frac{\mathrm{g}}{\ell_2} \theta_2 \\ & \Rightarrow \theta_1 \ell_2=\theta_2 \ell_2\end{aligned}\)
