Savitha, a XI standard student, while conducting an experiment to determine the effective length of a simple pendulum L, notes down the data of time taken to complete 30 oscillations as 60 s and hence calculates the length of the simple pendulum as :
(Take \(\pi^2=9.8\), and \(g=9.8 m / s ^2\) )

  1. A 0.75 m
  2. B 1.5 m
  3. C 2 m
  4. D 1 m
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 1 m

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(D) 1 m
Time period \(T=\frac{60}{30}=2 s\).
The formula for the time period of a simple pendulum is \(T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}\).
Squaring both sides, we get \(T^2=4 \pi^2 \frac{L}{g}\).
Substituting the given values \(T=2 s, \pi^2=9.8\), and \(g=9.8 m / s ^2\) :
\((2)^2=4 \times 9.8 \times \frac{L}{9.8}\)
\(4=4 L\)
\(L=1 m\)
