Physics Question on Oscillations
Two pendulum have time period T and 45T they start SHM at the same time form the mean position. What will be the phase difference between them after the bigger pendulum completed one oscillation
A
45o
B
90o
C
60?
D
30o
Answer
90o
Explanation
Solution
When bigger pendulum of time period (5T/4) completes one vibration, the smaller pendulum will complete (5T/4) vibration. It means the smaller pendulum will be leading the bigger pendulum by phase 4Ts=2πrad=90o.
