Question

Name the factors on which the time period of a simple pendulum depends. Write the relation for the time period in terms of the above named factors.

Answer 1

The time period of a simple pendulum is directly proportional to the square root of the length of the pendulum

The time period of a simple pendulum is inversely proportional to the square root of acceleration due to gravity

`"T"=2root(pi)(1/g)`

Where T is the time period,

l is the length of the pendulum,

g is the acceleration due to gravity
