Q.

Two pendulums of length 121 cm and 100 cm start vibrating in phase. At some instant, the two are at their mean position in the same phase. The minimum number of vibrations of the shorter pendulum after which the two are again in phase at the mean position is          [2022]

1 11  
2 9  
3 10  
4 8  

Ans.

(1)

Let L1=121cm=121100=1.21m

L2=100cm=100100=1m

Let T1=longer pendulum ; T2=shorter pendulum

We know, T=2πLgTL

T1T2L1L2

T1T21.211=1.11

10T1=11T2

10 vibrations of longer pendulum = 11 vibrations of shorter pendulum.
