Share:
- 1The simple pendulum has a time period independent of amplitude only for small amplitudes because then the net restoring force on its bob is approximately proportional to its displacement.✓
- 2The simple pendulum has a time period independent of amplitude for any amplitude because the net force on the bob is independent of its displacement.
- 3The simple pendulum has a time period independent of amplitude for any amplitude because the net force on the bob is always proportional to its displacement.
- 4The simple pendulum has a time period independent of amplitude only for large amplitudes because the net restoring force becomes non-linear.
Correct answer
The simple pendulum has a time period independent of amplitude only for small amplitudes because then the net restoring force on its bob is approximately proportional to its displacement.
