If the length of a simple pendulum is quadrupled (increased by a factor of 4), what happens to its time period?
A. It doubles.
B. It remains unchanged.
C. It is halved.
D. It quadruples.

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
The time period of a simple pendulum is given by T = 2π√(L/g), where L is the length of the string and g is acceleration due to gravity. The time period is directly proportional to the square root of the length (T ∝ √L). If L becomes 4L, the new time period T' = √4 = 2 times the original. It doubles.

Question #2 Report Error
Assertion (A): It is easier to pull a lawn roller than to push it. Reason (R): Pushing increases the apparent weight of the roller, thereby increasing the frictional force.
A. A is false but R is true.
B. Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A.
C. A is true but R is false.
D. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
When you pull a roller at an upward angle, the vertical component of the applied force acts strictly upwards, reducing the normal reaction (N = mg - Fsin_theta) and thus reducing friction (muN). When you push it at a downward angle, the vertical component adds to the weight (N = mg + Fsin_theta), increasing the normal reaction and consequently increasing the rolling friction.
