Question

Two identical pendulums oscillate with a constant phase difference $\frac{\pi }{4}$ and same amplitude. If the maximum velocity of one is $v$, the maximum velocity of the other will be

• A. $v$
• B. $\sqrt{2}v$
• C. $2v$
• D. $\frac{v}{\sqrt{2}}$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $v$

$v$

The maximum velocity achieved by a pendulum is independent of the phase difference between two pendulums.

It is mentioned that the two pendulums under observation are of the same type and even have the same amplitude.

As a result, it can be concluded that they should both share the same numerical value for maximum velocity.

The other pendulum will also have the same maximum velocity.
