Two pendulums of lengths 100 cm and 121 cm suspended side by side. A suspended bobs suspended at its end stretched and leave together. After how many minimum oscillations of big pendulum, both are in same phase?

Answer»

`11`
`10`
`21`
`20`

Solution :Suppose `T_(1)" and "T_(2)` are the PERIODIC time of two pendulums
`T_(1)= 2pi sqrt((100)/(g))" and "T_(2)= 2pi sqrt((121)/(g))""[therefore T_(1) LT T_(2)," because "l_(1) lt l_(2)]`
Suppose at t=0, both oscillate at same time but their oscillations are the same due to different period.
Suppose pendulum of long string MAKES n oscillations and pendulum of short string makes `(n+1)` oscillations.
`therefore (n+1)T_(1) = nT_(2)`
`therefore (n+1)xx 2pi sqrt((100)/(g))= n xx 2pi sqrt((121)/(g))`
`therefore (n+1)10= 11n`
`therefore 10n +10 = 11n`
`therefore n = 10`.
