Question

A simple pendulum is moving simple harmonically with a period of 6 s between two extreme position B and C about a point O. if the angular distance between B and C is 10 cm, how long will the pendulum take to move from position C to a position D exactly midway between O and C.

Solution

Correct option is

1.0 s

 

Given time period T = 6 s   

          

   

Let the displacement of the pendulum be given by 

                 

   

let us suppose that at t = 0, the pendulum is at C, i.e., at t = 0, x = A, so that

               

Thus the motion of the pendulum is given by 

            

The value of t for which x = 2.5 cm is given by   

         2.5 = 5 cos ωt
