Question (3)
QN0038538

A simple pendulum is made of a body which is a hollow sphere containing mercury suspended by means of a wire. If a little mercury is drained off, the period of pendulum will

Description automatically generated

  • (A)

    remain unchanged

  • (B)

    increase

  • (C)

    decrease

  • (D)

    become erratic

Correct Answer: B
Explanation:

When some mercury is drained off, the centre of gravity of the bob moves down and so length of the pendulum increases, which result increase in time period.

QN0038542

For an oscillating simple pendulum, the tension in the string is

  • (A)

    maximum at extreme position

  • (B)

    maximum at mean position

  • (C)

    constant throughout the motion

  • (D)

    cannot be predicted

Correct Answer: B
Explanation:

At the mean position,  and

So, the value of tension is greatest.
