two pendulums of lengths 100cm and 110.25cm start oscillating in phase. after how many oscillations will they again be in same phase?

Respuesta :

Angular frequency of pendulum is given by

[tex]\omega = \sqrt{\frac{g}{l}}[/tex]

for both pendulum we have

[tex]\omega_1 = \sqrt{\frac{9.81}{1.00}}[/tex]

[tex]\omega_1 = 3.13 rad/s[/tex]

For other pendulum

[tex]\omega_2 = \sqrt{\frac{9.81}{1.1025}}[/tex]

[tex]\omega_2 = 2.98 rad/s[/tex]

now we have relate angular frequency given as

[tex\omega_1 - \omega_2 = 3.13 - 2.98 = 0.15 rad/s[/tex]

now time taken to become in phase again is given as

[tex]t = \frac{2\pi}{\omega_1 - \omega_2}[/tex]

[tex]t = \frac{2\pi}{0.15} = 41.88 s[/tex]

now number of oscillations complete in above time

[tex]N = \frac{t}{\frac{2\pi}{\omega_1}}[/tex]

[tex]N = \frac{41.88}{\frac{2\pi}{3.13}}[/tex]

[tex]N = 21 oscillation[/tex]
