Find the angle in radian through which a pendulum swings if its length is 75 cm and the tip describes an arc of length
(i) 10 cm
(ii) 15 cm
(iii) 21 cm
(i) Given: l = 10cm (length of arc) and r = 75cm(radius of circle)
We know that θ =
(here, θ is angle subtended by arc)
∴ θ =
=
radians
∴The angle by which the pendulum of length 75 cm swings if it describes an arc of 21 cm is
radians.
(ii) Given: l = 15cm (length of arc) and r = 75cm(radius of circle)
We know that θ =
(here, θ is angle subtended by arc)
∴ θ =
=
radians.
∴The angle by which the pendulum of length 75 cm swings if it describes an arc of 21 cm is
radians.
(iii) Given: l = 21 cm (length of arc) and r = 75 cm (radius of circle)
We know that θ =
(here, θ is angle subtended by arc)
∴ θ =
=
radians
∴ The angle by which the pendulum of length 75 cm swings if it describes an arc of 21 cm is
radians.
