    Question

    A simple pendulum takes 60 seconds to complete 30 oscillations. What is the time period of the pendulum?

    A.

    1800 seconds

    B.

    2 seconds

    C.

    0.5 seconds

    D.

    30 seconds

    Correct option is B

    The correct answer is (b) 2 seconds.
    Explanation:
    ● The Time Period of a pendulum is the time taken to complete one full oscillation
    ● Calculation: Time Period = Total Time / Number of Oscillations.
    ● 60 seconds / 30 oscillations = 2 seconds.
    Information Booster:
    ● Frequency is the reciprocal of the time period (Number of oscillations / Time).
    ● For this pendulum, the frequency is 0.5 Hz (30/60).
    Additional Knowledge:
    ● The time period of a simple pendulum depends on its length and the acceleration due to gravity (g).
    ● It is independent of the mass of the bob.
