Question

An engineer builds two simple pendulums. Both are suspended from small wires secured to the ceiling of a room. Each pendulum hovers 2 cm above the floor. Pendulum 1 has a bob with a mass of 10 kg. Pendulum 2 has a bob with a mass of 100 kg. Describe how the motion of the pendulums will differ if the bobs are both displaced by 12º.​
.

Answer 1

Answer:

the motion of the pendulums will not differ.

Explanation: As we know that there is no effect in the motion of simple pendulums because of mass.  However  pendulums can  be affected by the length & acceleration by the gravity

Answer 2

Answer:

The motion of the pendulum will remain the same.

Explanation:

It is given that:

An engineer builds two simple pendulums.

Both are suspended from small wires secured to the ceiling of a room.

Each pendulum hovers $2 cm$ above the floor.

Pendulum 1 has a bob with a mass of $10 kg$. Pendulum 2 has a bob with a mass of $100 kg$.

We need to determine the motion of the pendulums will differ if the bobs are both displaced by $12^{0}$.

There is no effect in the motion of simple pendulums due to mass.

Pendulums can  be affected by the length and acceleration by the gravity only.

Hence, the motion of the pendulum will remain the same.
