MCQ
As the temperature is increased, the time period of a pendulum:
  • A
    Increases as its effective length increases even though its centre of mass still remains at the centre of the bob.
  • B
    Decreases as its effective length increases even though its centre of mass still remains at the centre of the bob.
  • C
    Increases as its effective length increases due to shifting of centre of mass below the centre of the bob.
  • D
    Decreases as its effective length remains same but the centre of mass shifts above the centre of the bob.

Answer

  1. Increases as its effective length increases even though its centre of mass still remains at the centre of the bob.

Explanation:

As the temperature increased the length L increase due to expansion (Linear) and,

$\text{T}=\sqrt{\frac{\text{L}}{\text{g}}}\text{ or }\text{T }\alpha\ \sqrt{\text{L}}$

So on increasing temperature, its effective length increases hence T also increases.
