Estimated time: 12 minutes
Maharashtra State Board: Class 11

Definition: Simple Pendulum

A heavy but small sized metallic bob suspended by a light, inextensible and flexible string, which performs oscillatory motion, is called a simple pendulum.

Maharashtra State Board: Class 11

Definition: Second's Pendulum

A simple pendulum whose period is two seconds is called a second's pendulum.

Maharashtra State Board: Class 11

Formula: Time Period of Simple Pendulum

T = 2π\[\sqrt {\frac {l}{g}}\]

Maharashtra State Board: Class 11

Formula: Frequency of Oscillation

n = \[\frac {1}{2π}\]\[\sqrt {\frac {g}{l}}\]

Maharashtra State Board: Class 11

Formula: Time Period of Second's Pendulum

T = 2π\[\sqrt{\frac {L_s}{g}}\] = 2 seconds

CBSE: Class 12

Formula: Gravitational Acceleration

\[g=\frac{4\pi^2L}{T^2}\]

CBSE: Class 12

Formula: Potential Energy of the Pendulum

\[PE=mgh\]

where,

m is mass

g is gravity

h is height

CBSE: Class 12

Formula: Kinetic Energy of the Pendulum

\[KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2\]

CBSE: Class 12

Formula: Total Mechanical Energy

\[E=PE+KE\]

CBSE: Class 12

Key Points: Simple Pendulum

  • A simple pendulum is a mass on a string swinging under gravity
  • Used to determine acceleration due to gravity (g)
  • Energy dissipation can be analysed by plotting the square of amplitude vs. time
  • At any point: total mechanical energy = PE + KE
  • PE depends on height; KE depends on velocity
CBSE: Class 12

Definition: Natural Frequency

The frequency with which a body oscillates freely is called natural frequency.
