Time period of simple pendulum $=T$
amplitiede $=A$.
The oscillating simple pendulern experiences the ais friction due to which its amplitude gradually decreases. Also, die to air friction, the acceterdtion also decreases. So, the pendulum takes longer time to reach the rest position, which means the time period is langer.
So, $T$ increases and $A$ decreases.

- 2A trolley of mass $m_1$ is placed on horizontal rigid pair of rails at same height. A mass $m_2$ is suspended to the trolley vertically by me ans of a ideal massless rope. The rope hangs between rails without touching them. Trolley can move along smooth rails but can't move in any other direction. Suspended mass is given small oscillation and perform $SHM$ after displacing small from stable equilibrium position in two ways, first perpendicular to the rails and second parallel to the rails. The ratio of time period of these (second case to first case) two $SHM's$ isView Solution
