. Define time period. Calculate the time period of a pendulum that oscillates 1200 times in an hour. coding
Answers
Answer:
: 0.05 second
Explanation:
A simple pendulum consists of a small metallic ball or a piece of stone suspended from a rigid stand by a thread.
The metallic ball is termed as bob.
A pendulum swings from one extreme position to another and comes back to the same position, this completes one oscillation.
One oscillation can also be defined as the pendulum starting from the mean position, going to one extreme, and coming back to the same mean position.
The time duration to compete for one oscillation is called time period and the reciprocal of time period is frequency.

Calculation:
Number of Oscillations = 1200
Time taken in that = 1 min = 60 second
Number of oscillations in 1 second = 1200 / 60 = 20
Time taken for 1 oscillation = 1 / 20 = 0. 05 second.
