There is a more complex formula that cannot be printed here, but for the sake of simplicity, you can consider the period T to be proportional to the square root of the length of the pendulum L. If L is halved, then T2 is proportional to the square root of 1/2, or approximately 0.707 times T1.

What type of simple machine is a swing set?

Pendulum-type


Is a pendulum a simple machine?

There are no moving parts, therefore it is not a machine. A chair is an object.


Examples of simple machines?

Wrench,Nail clipper,Scissors,scale,pendulum,can opener,crowbar


What are two classic simple harmonic oscillators?

A simple harmonic oscillator is any system that when displaced from equilibrium wil satisfy the equation F=-kx Where F is the force (mass times acceleration), k is a constant, and x is the position of the oscillator. The classical example of a harmonic oscillator is the mass on a spring. When you displace the mass, the spring will cause the mass to oscillate back and forth in the direction of the string. In this case, k is the spring constant, a value that effectively tells you how stiff the spring is. The second classical example is the small angle pendulum. When you move the mass on the end of a pendulum by a small amount, gravity will pull it back towards the lowest point and create an infinite oscillation. The k in this example is equal to m*g/l where m is the mass of the end of the pendulum, g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.81m/s²) and l is the length of the pendulum. In reality however, these systems rarely display simple harmonic motion. Due to the effects of air resistance, these systems are constantly being dampened and behave in a much more complex way. In addition, the pendulum case only works for small angles due to an approximation used in the derivation of the formula. Anything more than about 10 degrees and the equation will soon stop describing the actual motion.

What will be the effect of time period of a simple pendulum if its mass is doubled and its amplitude is halved?

The PERIOD of a Simple Pendulum is affected by its LENGTH, and NOT by its Mass or the amplitude of its swing. So, in your case, the Period of the Pendulum's swing would remain UNCHANGED!

How can you find effective length of a simple pendulum?

Measure the period, the period is directly proportional to the square root of the length.


What happens to time period of a simple pendulum if a heavy body is attached to it instead of bob?

The period of a simple pendulum is independent of the mass of the bob. Keep in mind that the size of the bob does affect the length of the pendulum.


Time period of simple pendulum is three seconds the same pendulum taken at the moon - what will be its new time period?

This pendulum, which is 2.24m in length, would have a period of 7.36 seconds on the moon.


What are the factors on which the time period of simple pendulum depends?

The length of the pendulum, and the acceleration due to gravity. Despite what many people believe, the mass has nothing to do with the period of a pendulum.
