Question

The length of a simple pendulum is increased by 44%. What is the percentage increase in its time period?

Solution

Correct option is

20%

 

 If the length or the pendulum is increased by 44%, the new length  Therefore, the new time period is

                      

i.e., the time period increases by 0.2 T or the percentage increase is
