Question

If a simple pendulum oscillates with amplitude of 50mm and time period of 2s, then its maximum velocity is?

(a) 0.10m/s

(b) 0.16m/s

(c) 0.24m/s

(d) 0.32m/s

I have been asked this question in unit test.

This question is from Oscillatory Motion topic in division Oscillations of Engineering Physics I

Answer 1

Correct option is (b) 0.16m/s

The explanation: vmax=ωA=2π/T×A

vmax=(2×3.14×0.05)/2=0.16m/s.
