A pendulum has a time period \(\mathrm{T}\) in air. When it is made to oscillate in water its time period is \(\sqrt{2} \mathrm{~T}\). Then the relative density of the material of the bob of the pendulum is (neglect damping)

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The effective acceleration of a bob in water \[ g^{\prime}=g\left(1-\frac{\sigma}{\rho}\right) \] Here \(\sigma\) and \(\rho\) are the density of water and the bob respectively. The time period in air is \[ T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{I}{g}} \] The time period in water is…
