Question:medium
If the period of a simple pendulum of length \(l\) is 5 seconds, then the period of the pendulum of length \(\frac{l}{4}\) is
If the period of a simple pendulum of length \(l\) is 5 seconds, then the period of the pendulum of length \(\frac{l}{4}\) is
Show Hint
If length becomes \(\frac{1}{4}\) times, period becomes \(\frac{1}{2}\) times.

A bob of heavy mass \(m\) is suspended by a light string of length \(l\). The bob is given a horizontal velocity \(v_0\) as shown in figure. If the string gets slack at some point P making an angle \( \theta \) from the horizontal, the ratio of the speed \(v\) of the bob at point P to its initial speed \(v_0\) is :
