Question

For small oscillations, what is the period T of a simple pendulum with length L in a gravitational field g?
Options
A T = 2π√(g/L)
B T = 2π√(L/g)
Correct Answer
C T = (1/2π)√(L/g)
D T = 2π(L/g)
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Equation 15 on page 10 provides the formula T = 2π√(L/g) for the period of a simple pendulum for small oscillations.

Hint

Find the period formula for a simple pendulum in the 'The Simple Pendulum' section.
