The oscillation period of a mathematical pendulum is 2 times greater than the oscillation period of a spring
The oscillation period of a mathematical pendulum is 2 times greater than the oscillation period of a spring pendulum with a mass of 180 g, determine the length of the thread of the mathematical pendulum, if the rigidity is 15, the modulus of gravitational acceleration is 10.
m = 180 g = 0.18 kg.
Tm / Tp = 2.
g = 10 N / kg.
k = 15 N / m.
l -?
The period of oscillation T is the time of one complete oscillatory movement of the pendulum.
The period of the mathematical Tm and the spring Tp of the pendulum is determined by the formulas: Tm = 2 * P *
√l / √g, Тп = 2 * П * √m / √k.
Since according to the condition of the problem: Tm / Tp = 2, then 2 * P * √l * √k / 2 * P * √m * √g = 2.
√l = 2 * √m * √g / √k.
l = 4 * m * g / k.
l = 4 * 0.18 kg * 10 N / kg / 15 N / kg = 0.48 m.
Answer: the mathematical pendulum has a length of l = 0.48 m.
