Homework Statement
Consider the two “gigantic” simple pendulums with identical masses but with different lengths
as shown below. Suppose they are released from rest from position A at the same time as
shown. So you understand that they will not oscillate in harmony since they will have different
periods of oscillation. But at a later time we will see both pendulums reaching the position A
simultaneously. When will it take place? (calculate the time taken from the start). Take
g=980 cm/s2 . Must show all the calculations.
Homework Equations
T = 2pi * square root of length/gravity
The Attempt at a Solution
I really don't know what I am doing. I don't know how to relate two different periods. =(
