Question:

A pendulum made of a uniform wire of cross sectional area A has time period T. When an additional mass M is added to its bob, the time period changes to TM . If the Young’s modulus of the material of the wire is Y then (g = gravitational acceleration) 1/Y is equal to

Options :

  • (a) [(Tm/T)^2-1]A/Mg
  • (b) [(Tm/T)^2-1]Mg/A
