Question

on what factors does the frequency of conical pendulum depends

Answer 1

Explanation:

Th frequency of a conical pendulum, of string

length L and semi vertical angle θ, is

n=

2π

1

cosθ

g

where g is the acceleration due to gravity at the place.

From the above expression, we can see that

(i) n∝

g

(ii) n∝

L

1

(iii) n∝

cosθ

1

(if θ , increase, cosθ decrease and n increase)

(iv) The frequency is independent of the mass of the bob.
