Time period of a simple pendulum of length ' $L$ ' is $T_1$. Time period of a uniform rod of same length ' $L$ ' suspended from one end and oscillating in a vertical plane is $T_2$. Amplitude of oscillation is small in both the cases. Then $\frac{T_1}{T_2}$ is
  1. $\sqrt{\frac{2}{3}}$
  2. $\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}$
  3. $\sqrt{\frac{4}{3}}$
  4. 1

Solution

Length of pendulum $=L$ Time period of simple pendulum $ T_1=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}} $ Length of $\operatorname{rod}=L$ Time period of rod; $ \begin{aligned} & T_2=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{2 L}{3 g}}\left[\because T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{I}{m g r_{c m}}} \text { and } r_{c m}=\ell / 2\right] \\ & \frac{T_1}{T_2}=\frac{2 \pi \sqrt{L / g}}{2 \pi \sqrt{2 L / 3 g}}=\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}} \end{aligned} $
