Question

As the length of simple pendulum increases, the period of oscillation

• A. remains constant
• B. decreases
• C. increases
• D. none of these

Answer 1

Answer:

C. increases

The length of the string affects the pendulum's period. That is, the longer the length of the string, the longer the pendulum's period.

The formula for determining the period of a pendulum is

T = 2π √L/g,

where,

L - the length of the pendulum

g - acceleration due to gravity
