Given below are two statements :
Statement I : A second's pendulum has a time period of 1 second.
Statement II : It takes precisely one second to move between the two extreme positions.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :
Solution
As we know time period of second’s penduklum is 2 sec, so statement (1) is incorrect.
<br><br>Time taken by particle performing SHM between two
extreme position is half of the time period.
<br><br>Here, T = 2 sec.
<br><br>So, time = 2/2 = 1 sec
