    Two simple pendulums whose lengths are 100 cm and 121 cm are suspended side by side. Their bobs are pulled together and the released. After how many minimum oscillations of the longer pendulum, will the two be in phase again?

    A)  11            

    B)  10

    C)  21            

    D)  20

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     The time period of a simple pendulum is \[T=2\,\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}\] where Us length. \[\therefore \] \[\frac{{{T}_{1}}}{{{T}_{2}}}=\sqrt{\frac{{{l}_{1}}}{{{l}_{2}}}}\] Given, \[{{l}_{1}}=100\,cm,\,{{l}_{2}}=121\,cm\] \[\therefore \] \[\frac{{{T}_{2}}}{{{T}_{1}}}=\sqrt{\frac{121}{100}}=\frac{11}{10}\]. In a-given time shorter pendulum will make one oscillation more than the longer. Let after n oscillations, the pendulums are in same phase, then \[n\times 11=(n+1)\times 10\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[n=10\].
