Question

A simple pendulum has a period T. What will be the percentage change in period if the amplitude is decreased by 6%?

0.06
0.03
0.015
No change

Answer 1

the answer is no change .

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct option is no change.

Explanation:

• The time period of the pendulum does not depend on the amplitude of the oscillation
• The time period of the pendulum depends on the length and the acceleration due to gravity
• The time period is directly proportional to the square root of the length
• The time period is inversely proportional to the square root of the acceleration due to gravity
• The time period is independent of the amplitude of the oscillation
• The percentage change in the period of amplitude is zero and there is no change
