Question
Two pendulums C and D are suspended from a wire as shown in the figure give below. Pendulum C is made to oscullate by displaying it from its mean position. It is seen that D also starts oscillating.
(i) Name the type of oscillation, C will execute.
(ii) Name the type of oscillation, D will execute.
(iii) If the length of D is made equal to C then what difference will you notice in the oscillations of D ?
(iv) What is the name of the phenomenon when the length of D is made equal to C ?
