The angular velocity and the amplitude of a simple pendulum are $\omega$ and $a$ respectively. At a displacement $X$ from the mean position,if its kinetic energy is $T$ and potential energy is $V$,then the ratio of $T$ to $V$ is:

  • A
    $X^2 \omega^2 / (a^2 - X^2 \omega^2)$
  • B
    $X^2 / (a^2 - X^2)$
  • C
    $(a^2 - X^2 \omega^2) / X^2 \omega^2$
  • D
    $(a^2 - X^2) / X^2$

The acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the moon is $1.7 \; m s^{-2}$. What is the time period of a simple pendulum on the surface of the moon if its time period (in $s$) on the surface of the earth is $3.5 \; s$? ($g$ on the surface of the earth is $9.8 \; m s^{-2}$)

$A$ simple pendulum of length $l$ has a brass bob attached at its lower end. Its period is $T$. $A$ steel bob of the same size,having density $x$ times that of brass,replaces the brass bob. Its length is then changed such that the period becomes $2T$. What is the new length?

Two simple pendulums $A$ and $B$ are made to oscillate simultaneously. It is found that $A$ completes $10$ oscillations in $20 \ s$ and $B$ completes $8$ oscillations in $10 \ s$. The ratio of the lengths of $A$ and $B$ is
