Q.1
What is the frequency of a simple pendulum if the time period is ten seconds?
  • 0.01 Hz
  • 0.1 Hz

  • (1.5,2.5)
  • (3,5)
  • (2.5,1.5)
  • (5,3)
Q.3
How can you locate the center of mass of an irregular object?
  • Suspend the object from two locations and drop a plumb line from the suspension points
  • Suspend the object from one location and drop a plumb line from the suspension point
  • Measure to the center of the object
  • None of the above
Q.4

  • 1 s
  • 0.1 s
  • 0.01 s
  • 0.001 s
Q.6
What is the formula for the period of oscillation for a simple pendulum?
  • T = 2f
  • T = 3f
  • T = 4f
  • T = 1⁄f
Q.7
Where is the center of mass located in a regularly shaped object?
  • Along an axis of symmetry
  • Always in the center of the object
  • Always 2cm to the left of the center
  • Always 2cm to the right of the center
Q.8
What is center of mass?
  • It is the point at which the mass of an object may be thought to be concentrated
  • The point at which an object has no mass
  • A number of points across an object which measure the same mass
  • None of the above
Q.9
A freely suspended object will come to rest with its center of mass directly below which point?
  • Point of recession
  • Point of suspension
  • The center of mass doesn't lie directly below any point
  • None of the above
Q.10
What does the time period depend on?
  • Force with which the pendulum is released
  • Width of string used in the pendulum
  • Length of the pendulum
  • All pendulums have the same time period
