CASE STUDY

29. A simple pendulum can be described as a device where its point mass is attached to a

light inextensible string and suspended from a fixed support. The vertical line passing

through the fixed support is the mean position of a simple pendulum. The vertical
 distance between the point of suspension and the centre of mass of the suspended

body (when it is in mean position) is called the length of the simple pendulum

denoted by L. This form of the pendulum is based on the resonant system having a

single resonant frequency.

with acceleration a, what will be its time period?

30. Gravitation or just gravity is the force of attraction between any two bodies. All the

objects in the universe attract each other with a certain amount of force, but in most of

the cases, the force is too weak to be observed due to the very large distance of

separation. Besides, gravity’s range is infinite, but the effect becomes weaker as

objects move away.

escape speed of a dog of mass 2m on the surface of earth?
