Question

A simple pendulum has time period T₁ The point of suspension is now moved upward according to equation $y = k t^{2}$ , where k = 1 m/sec². If new time period is T₂ then ratio $\frac{T_{1}^{2}}{T_{2}^{2}}$ will be

Moderate

A

2/3
B

5/6
C

6/5
D

3/2

Solution

$y = k t^{2} \Rightarrow \frac{d^{2} y}{d t^{2}} = a_{y} = 2 K = 2 \Rightarrow 1 = 2 m / s^{2} (∵ k = 1 m / s^{2})$
$Now, T_{1} = 2 π \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}} and T_{2} = 2 π \sqrt{\frac{l}{(g + a_{y})}}$
$Dividing, \frac{T_{1}}{T_{2}} = \sqrt{\frac{g + a_{y}}{g}} \Rightarrow \sqrt{\frac{6}{5}} \Rightarrow \frac{T_{1}^{2}}{T_{2}^{2}} = \frac{6}{5}$
