a small ball connected to a light inextensible string can execute SHM with a time period of t=2sec. now the ball is pulled to one side suhc that thread makes theta with the vertical, the ball is pushed with suitable velocity so that it moves on a circulaepath uniformly. if max tension that thread canbear is 4mg fin time period of new motion

Explanation

Solution

Use T=2πL/g=2T=2\pi\sqrt{L/g}=2 to get L=g/π2L=g/\pi^2.

For conical pendulum, Tcosθ=mgT\cos\theta=mg and with T=4mgT=4mg gives cosθ=1/4\cos\theta=1/4.

The period T=2πLcosθ/gT' = 2\pi\sqrt{L\cos\theta/g} then is

T=2πg/(π2)(1/4)g=1s.T' = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{g/(π^2)\cdot(1/4)}{g}} = 1\, \text{s}.
