MCQ
Four pendulums A, B, C and D are suspended from the same elastic support as shown in Fig A and C are of the same length, while B is smaller than A and D is larger than A. If A is given a transverse displacement,

  • A
    D will vibrate with maximum amplitude.
  • B
    C will vibrate with maximum amplitude.
  • C
    B will vibrate with maximum amplitude.
  • D
    All the four will oscillate with equal amplitude.

Answer

  1. C will vibrate with maximum amplitude.

Explanation:

Here A is given a transverse displacement. Through the elastic support the disturbance is transferred to all the pendulums.

A and C are having same length, hence they will be in resonance, because of their time period of oscillation. Since length of pendulums A and C is same and $\text{T}=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{\text{L}}{\text{g}}}$ hence their time period is same and they will have frequency of vibration. Due to it, a resonance will take place and the pendulum C will vibrate with maximum amplitude.
