Question

Answer in detail what are the factors that affect the time period of a penudulum ?

Answer 1

1. The first factor that affects the time period of a pendulum is the length of the pendulum .
2. Let the time period of the pendulum be T
3. So suppose the length of the pendulum is l , then the time period of the pendulum is directly proportional to $\sqrt{l}$.
4. The second factor that affects the the time period of a pendulum is the acceleration due to gravity g , here the time period of the pendulum is inversely proportional to$\sqrt{g}$
