It's due to some air resistance blah. But in theory, you gotta stick to conventions, and that's the period remains the same.</p> Sat, 19 Jan 2008 16:40:07 +0800 zh.sgforums.com:2297:303327:7775255 bonkysleuth http://zh.sgforums.com/forums/2297/topics/303327 <blockquote> <div class="quote_from">Originally posted by gobez14:</div> <div class="quote_body">erm psl help<br /> <br /> state teh effect if any on the period of the pendulum when<br /> <br /> a)a heavier pendulum bob of the same size is used<br /> <br /> b)there are a larger number of oscillations<br /> <br /> c) there is a smaller angle of swing<br /> <br /> d)a longer pendulum is used<br /> <br /> assuming all otehr factors are constant<br /> <br /> TIA</div> </blockquote> <p>a) no change in period<br /> b) assuming there is no air resistance, the period will be the same<br /> c) no change in period<br /> d) period will increase</p> Wed, 16 Jan 2008 20:29:32 +0800 zh.sgforums.com:2297:303327:7761568 wishboy http://zh.sgforums.com/forums/2297/topics/303327 <p>erm psl help<br /> <br /> state teh effect if any on the period of the pendulum when<br /> <br /> a)a heavier pendulum bob of the same size is used<br /> <br /> b)there are a larger number of oscillations<br /> <br /> c) there is a smaller angle of swing<br /> <br /> d)a longer pendulum is used<br /> <br /> assuming all otehr factors are constant<br /> <br /> TIA</p> Wed, 16 Jan 2008 15:15:50 +0800 zh.sgforums.com:2297:303327:7760127 gobez14 http://zh.sgforums.com/forums/2297/topics/303327
