Question

Two light strings, each of length l, are fixed at points A and B on a fixed horizontal rod xy. A small bob is tied by both strings and in equilibrium, the strings are making angle 45° with the rod. If the bob is slightly displaced normal to the plane of the strings and released then period of the resulting small oscillation will be:

Moderate
Solution

Resulting torque on the bob = mgl2sinθ

MI of bob about axis xy = ml22

For small angle θ

ω = 2gl    T = 2πl2g
