Q45 / 214 · NTA Abhyas (NEET) 2020 · Physics · Oscillations
A pendulum has time period for small oscillations. An obstacle is situated below the point of suspension at a distance . The pendulum is released from rest. Throughout the motion the moving string makes small angles with vertical. Time after which the pendulum returns back to its initial position is -


- A
- Correct answerB
- C
- D
Solution
first half oscillation is covered with length and second half with length therefore total time can be measured by
Putting value we get
Putting value we get
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
