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
Answer
1 second
Explanation
Solution
Use T=2πL/g=2 to get L=g/π2.
For conical pendulum, Tcosθ=mg and with T=4mg gives cosθ=1/4.
The period T′=2πLcosθ/g then is
T′=2πgg/(π2)⋅(1/4)=1s.
