(i) What is the change in the time period of simple pendulum if its length changes by 1%? (ii) When the length of a simple pendulum is increased by 21% what is the change in its time period?

Answer»

Solution :Expression of the time period of a simple PENDULUM is
`T=2pisqrt(l/g)`………1
Differentiating w.r.t `l""(dT)/(dl)=((2pi)/(sqrt(g)))1/(2l^(1//2))`
`dT=((2pi)/(sqrt(g)))1/2(dl)/(l^(1/2))`……….2
Dividing 2 with 1
`(dT)/T=(((2pi)/(sqrt(g)))(d/l)/(2l^(1//2)))/(((2pi)/(sqrt(g)))l^(1//2))=(dT)/T=1/2((dl)/l)`
`((dT)/T)%=1/2((dl)/l)%`
In this PROBLEM, % CHANGE in l=1%
`:.` % change in `T=1/2(1)=0.5%`
(ii) Expression for the time period of a simple pendulum
`T=2pisqrt(l/g)`
When length CHANGES from `l_(1)` to `l_(2)` time period changes from `T_(1)` to `T_(2)` KEEPING g constant
`(T_(2))/(T_(1))=sqrt((l_(2))/(l_(1)))"" :. (T_(2))/(T_(1))=sqrt((121l)/(100l)0=11/10`
`=((T_(2))/(T_(1))-1)=(11/10-1)=1/10implies(DeltaT)/T% =1/10xx100=10%`
`:.` Increase in time period =10%
