There will be no change in the periodic time because the periodic time is independent of mass but depends upon length of pendulum and acceleration due to gravity at a place, which are not affected by sitting another girl on a swing. The girl sitting in a swing stands up. What will be the effect on the periodic time of the swing ? The periodic time, T will decrease because in the standing position, the location of centre of mass of the girl shifts upwards. Due to which the effective length of the pendulum. ‘ ’ (i.e. of swing) becomes less. As T∝ Q-03 Ans Q-04 Ans , therefore T decreases. The bob of a simple pendulum of length is negatively charged. A positively-charged metal plate is placed just below the bob and the pendulum is made to oscillate. What will be the effect on the time period of the pendulum ? Due to force of attraction between positively charged metal plate and negatively charged bob of pendulum, the effective value of ‘g’ increases and so the time period will decrease.

This force F is directed towards equilibrium position of the body. If body is left free, it will execute linear S.H.M. If k is the force constant of a spring which is equivalent to the combination of the two springs as given above, then F = ky …(ii) From (i) and (ii), Here, k = k1 + k2 spring factor = k1 + k2 Inertia factor = mass of the body = m ∴ Time period, T = 2π π Q-20 All simple harmonic motions are periodic motions but all periodic motions are not simple harmonic motions. Explain. Ans Periodic motion is that motion which is repeated identically after a fixed interval of times e.g. (i) the revolution of earth around the sun, (ii) the rotation of earth about its own axis etc. Simple harmonic motion is a special case of periodic motion in which the body moves to and fro about its equilibrium 4 Q-21 Ans position.

How does period of oscillation change with amplitude ? If amplitude of motion of simple pendulum is large, then θ is large. In that case, sin θ ≠ θ and restoring torque will not be linear, hence motion will not remain simple harmonic but will become oscillatory.
