NEET · Physics · STD 11 - 13. oscillations

A pendulum is hung from the roof of a sufficiently high building and is moving freely to and fro like a simple harmonic oscillator. The acceleration of the bob of the pendulum is \(20\; m/s^2\) at a distance of \(5\; m\) from the mean position. The time period of oscillation is

  1. A \(2\pi\;s\)
  2. B \(\pi\;s\)
  3. C \(1\;s\)
  4. D \(2\;s\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\pi\;s\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Magnitude of acceleration of a particle moving in a \(SHM\) is, \(|a|=\omega^{2} y ;\) where \(y\) is amplitude. \(\Rightarrow \quad 20=\omega^{2}(5) \Rightarrow \omega=2 \mathrm{rad} \mathrm{s}^{-1}\)
