Two simple pendulums whose lengths are 100 cm and 121 cm are suspended side by side. Their bobs are pulled together and then released. After how many minimum oscillations of the longer pendulum, will the two be in phase again?

Let  T1 and T2 are the time period of the two pendulumsT1 = 2π100g  and T2 = 2π121g(T1 < T2 because l1 < l2).Let at t = 0, they start swinging together. Since their time periods are different, the swinging will not be in unison always. Only when number of completed oscillation differs by an integer, the two pendulum will again begin to swing together.Let longer length pendulum complete n oscillation and shorter length pendulum complete (n + l) oscillation, for the union swinging, then (n+1)T1 = nT2(n+1)×2π100g = n ×2π121g ⇒n = 10
