Question

A simple pendulum takes 8s to complete 24 oscillations.
What is the time period of the pendulum?

(1) 3 s (2) 1/3 s (3) 4 s (4) 0.25 s

note:- in the textbook the correct answer is written 1/3, how?​

Answer 1

Answer:

1/3 s

Explanation:

Answer 2

Given,

Time taken=8s

Complete oscillation=24

To Find,

Time period of the pendulum.

Solution,

In 8s it covers 24 oscillations.

means for 1s it will take 24/8=3s

Then, it it the time period for the oscillation of the pendulum as it is for the 1s.

Hence, time period of the pendulum is 3s(Option 1).
