A simple pendulum of length $2 \mathrm{~m}$ is given a horizontal push through angular displacement of…
- $2 \sqrt{2} \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s}$
- $3 \sqrt{2} \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s}$
- $2 \sqrt{2.5} \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s}$
- $3 \sqrt{2.5} \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s}$
Solution
From the figure,
$\mathrm{T}=\mathrm{mr} \omega^2$... (i)
also $\mathrm{T} \cos \theta=\mathrm{mg}$... (ii)
putting (i) into (ii)
$\mathrm{mr} \omega^2-\cos \theta=\mathrm{mg}$... (iii)
putting the given values into equation (iii)
$\begin{aligned}
& 2 \times 2 \times \omega^2 \frac{1}{2}=2 \times 10 \quad \ldots .\left(\because \cos 60=\frac{1}{2}\right) \\
& \omega^2=10 \\
& \Rightarrow \omega=\sqrt{10} \quad \ldots .(\because \sqrt{10}=\sqrt{2 \times 2 \times 2.5}) \\
& \quad=2 \sqrt{2.5} \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s}
\end{aligned}$Asked in: MHT CET 2023 (09 May Shift 2)
