A pendulum osscilates 40 times in 4 seconds. Find its time period and frequency. |
|
Answer» Answer: Frequency is defined as the rate of time period. Time Period is defined as the time TAKEN by the bob of a pendulum to complete one OSCILLATION. Time Period = Number of oscillations in one second ⇒ Number of oscillations = 40 ⇒ Number of seconds = 4 ⇒ Time Period = 40 / 4 = 10 oscillations PER second. ⇒ One oscillation = 1 / 10 = 0.1 second Now, Frequency = 1 / Time period ⇒ Frequency = 1 / 0.1 = 10 Hz Hence Frequency of the pendulum is 10 Hz and Time Period of the Bob is 0.1 seconds |
