A pendulum is hung from the roof of a sufficiently high building and is moving freely to and fro like a simple harmonic oscillator. The acceleration of the bob of the pendulum is 20 m/s² at a distance of 5 m from the mean position. The time period of oscillation is

A

2 s

B

\pi \text{ s}

C

2\pi \text{ s}

D

1 s

Step-by-Step Solution

For SHM, acceleration a=ω2y|a| = \omega^2 y. Given a=20 m/s2|a| = 20 \text{ m/s}^2 and y=5 my = 5 \text{ m}. So 20=ω2(5)    ω2=4    ω=2 rad/s20 = \omega^2(5) \implies \omega^2 = 4 \implies \omega = 2 \text{ rad/s}. The time period T=2πω=2π2=π sT = \frac{2\pi}{\omega} = \frac{2\pi}{2} = \pi \text{ s}.
