b) The time period of a simple pendulum, called ‘seconds pendulum’, is 2 s. Calculate the length, angular frequency and frequency of the pendulum. What is the difference between a simple pendulum and a compound pendulum?

Introduction A seconds pendulum is defined as a simple pendulum whose time period is exactly 2 seconds. In this question, we calculate its length, angular frequency, and frequency. Additionally, we differentiate between a simple and compound pendulum. Given Time period (T) = 2 s Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s² Step 1: Calculate […]
