The ratio of frequencies of oscillations of two simple pendulums is \(3: 4\), then their lengths are in the ratio

  1. A \(16: 9\)
  2. B \(9:16\)
  3. C \(\sqrt{3}: \sqrt{4}\)
  4. D \(\sqrt{4}: \sqrt{3}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(16: 9\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Frequency of simple pendulum is given by
\(\begin{aligned}
\mathrm{f} &=\frac{1}{2 \pi} \sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{g}}{\ell}} \quad \therefore \frac{\mathrm{f}_{1}}{\mathrm{f}_{2}}=\sqrt{\frac{\ell_{2}}{\ell_{1}}} \\
\therefore \frac{3}{4} &=\sqrt{\frac{\ell_{2}}{\ell_{1}}} \quad \text { or } \quad \frac{9}{16}=\frac{\ell_{2}}{\ell_{1}} \\
\therefore \frac{\ell_{1}}{\ell_{2}} &=\frac{16}{9}
\end{aligned}\)
