Question

The bob of a simple pendulum executes simple harmonic motion in water with a period t, while the period of oscillation of the bob is t0 in air. Neglecting frictional force of water and given that the density of the bob is (4/3) × 1000 kg/m3. What relationship between t and t0 is true :-

Options

A.t = t0
B.t = t0/2
C.t = 2t0
D.t = 4t0

Solution

∵ to = 2π
Effective weight of bob inside water,
W′ = mg - thrust = Vρg vρ′g
Vρgeff = V(ρ - ρ′)g,
where, ρ = Density of bob
⇒ geff = g and ρ′ = Density of water
∴ t = 2π = 2π

[∵ ρ′ = 103kg/m3, ρ = × 103kg/m3]
= ⇒ t = 2t0
