Two pendulums of length 121 cm and 100 cm start vibrating in phase. At some instant, the two are at their mean position in the same phase. The minimum number of vibrations of the shorter pendulum after which the two are again in phase at the mean position is:
11
9
10
8
The time period of a pendulum is given by . Let and be integers for the number of vibrations. For them to be in phase, . Substituting the values: . This simplifies to , or . Thus, after 11 oscillations of the shorter pendulum, they will be in phase.
