Time Period of Halved Simple Pendulum

AI Thread Summary
Halving the length of a simple pendulum results in a change in its time period, which can be calculated using the formula T = 2π√(L/g). When the length is halved (L2 = L1/2), the relationship between the periods T1 and T2 can be expressed as T1/T2 = √(L1/L2). Substituting L2 into the equation gives T1/T2 = √(2), indicating that the time period is reduced. Thus, the time period of the pendulum decreases when its length is halved. Understanding this relationship is essential for solving pendulum problems effectively.

when we half the length of simple pendulum what will be its time period?please reply

This is something that is hard to tell you without doing the problem for you.

Since you are not given actual values, you have to use variables.
You are told that L1/L2=2 (L2 is half of L1), you need to find T1/T2, you know the formula that relates the period of a pendulum to it's length.
 

Thread '1:1 versus 2:1 Mechanical Advantage debate'

The rope is tied into the person (the load of 200 pounds) and the rope goes up from the person to a fixed pulley and back down to his hands. He hauls the rope to suspend himself in the air. What is the mechanical advantage of the system? The person will indeed only have to lift half of his body weight (roughly 100 pounds) because he now lessened the load by that same amount. This APPEARS to be a 2:1 because he can hold himself with half the force, but my question is: is that mechanical...

Thread 'Average velocity as a weighted mean'

Hello everyone, Consider the problem in which a car is told to travel at 30 km/h for L kilometers and then at 60 km/h for another L kilometers. Next, you are asked to determine the average speed. My question is: although we know that the average speed in this case is the harmonic mean of the two speeds, is it also possible to state that the average speed over this 2L-kilometer stretch can be obtained as a weighted average of the two speeds? Best regards, DaTario

Thread 'Newton's first law?'

Some physics textbook writer told me that Newton's first law applies only on bodies that feel no interactions at all. He said that if a body is on rest or moves in constant velocity, there is no external force acting on it. But I have heard another form of the law that says the net force acting on a body must be zero. This means there is interactions involved after all. So which one is correct?
