    Choose the correct statement

    A)  Time period of a simple pendulum depends on amplitude

    B)  Time shown by a spring watch varies with acceleration due to gravity

    C)  In a simple pendulum time period varies linearly with the length of the pendulum

    D)  The graph between length of the pendulum and time period is a parabola

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    The relation between time period (T) and length of pendulum \[(l)\]  is \[T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}\] On squaring and rearranging the terms, we get \[{{T}^{2}}=4{{\pi }^{2}}\frac{l}{g}\] Which is general equation \[({{y}^{2}}=4ax)\] of a parabola.
