angular simple harmonic motion example of simple harmonic motion oscillatory motion oscillations physics

  1. $\displaystyle 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}$

  2. $\displaystyle 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}\left(\frac{293}{288}\right)$

  3. $\displaystyle 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}\left(\frac{288}{293}\right)$

  4. none of these

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

For large amplitudes, the time period is given by 
$T={2\pi }{\sqrt{\dfrac{L}{g}}}(1+\dfrac{\theta ^{2}}{16})$
Substitute $\theta =\dfrac{\pi }{6}$, we get answer as 
$T={2\pi }{\sqrt{\dfrac{L}{g}}}(\dfrac{293}{288})$
Option B is correct.
