A pendulum of length 'L' having a mass 'M' attached as it's bob and it

In summary, the period of a pendulum is affected by the length of the pendulum, the mass of the bob, and the gravitational acceleration at the location where it is being used. The period is directly proportional to the square root of the length, and the formula for calculating it is T = 2π√(L/g). Changing the mass of the bob does not affect the period, as it only depends on the length and gravitational acceleration. Eventually, a pendulum stops swinging due to the effects of air resistance and friction causing it to lose energy.

a pendulum of length 'L' having a mass 'M' attached as it's bob and it oscillates with a time period 'T'. what will be the force tangential to the pendulum

1. just above the point of suspension of the pendulum
2. at a distance 'r' below the point of suspension

FAQ: A pendulum of length 'L' having a mass 'M' attached as it's bob and it

What factors affect the period of a pendulum?

The period of a pendulum is affected by the length of the pendulum, the mass of the bob, and the gravitational acceleration at the location where the pendulum is being used.

How does the length of the pendulum affect its period?

The period of a pendulum is directly proportional to the square root of its length. This means that as the length of the pendulum increases, its period will also increase.

What is the formula for calculating the period of a pendulum?

The formula for calculating the period of a pendulum is T = 2π√(L/g), where T is the period, L is the length of the pendulum, and g is the gravitational acceleration.

How does changing the mass of the bob affect the period of a pendulum?

The mass of the bob does not affect the period of a pendulum. The period only depends on the length of the pendulum and the gravitational acceleration.

Why does a pendulum eventually stop swinging?

A pendulum eventually stops swinging due to the effects of air resistance and friction. These forces cause the pendulum to lose energy and eventually come to a stop.
