2. \(\dfrac{3}{2}{T}\)
3. \(4{T}\)
4. \(2{T}\)

In a simple pendulum, the period of oscillation \(T\) is related to the length of the pendulum \(L\) as:
1. \(\frac{L}{T}= \text{constant}\)
2. \(\frac{L^2}{T}= \text{constant}\)
3. \(\frac{L}{T^2}= \text{constant}\)
4. \(\frac{L^2}{T^2}= \text{constant}\)

A pendulum has time period \(T\). If it is taken on to another planet having acceleration due to gravity half and mass \(9\) times that of the earth, then its time period on the other planet will be:
1. \(\sqrt{T} \) 2. \(T \)
3. \({T}^{1 / 3} \) 4. \(\sqrt{2} {T}\)

Two spherical bobs of masses \(M_A\) and \(M_B\) are hung vertically from two strings of length \(l_A\) and \(l_B\) respectively. If they are executing SHM with frequency as per the relation \(f_A=2f_B,\) Then:
1. \(l_A = \frac{l_B}{4}\)
2. \(l_A= 4l_B\)
3. \(l_A= 2l_B~\&~M_A=2M_B\)
4. \(l_A= \frac{l_B}{2}~\&~M_A=\frac{M_B}{2}\)

A simple pendulum attached to the ceiling of a stationary lift has a time period of 1 s. The distance y covered by the lift moving downward varies with time as y = 3.75 t2, where y is in meters and t is in seconds. If g = 10 m/s2, then the time period of the pendulum will be:

1. 4 s 2. 6 s
3. 2 s 4. 12 s

2. \(2\pi\sqrt{\frac{L}{g\sin\theta}}\)
3. \(2\pi\sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}\)

A simple pendulum hanging from the ceiling of a stationary lift has a time period \(T_1\). When the lift moves downward with constant velocity, then the time period becomes \(T_2\). It can be concluded that: 
1. \(T_2 ~\text{is infinity} \) 2. \(T_2>T_1 \)
3. \(T_2<T_1 \) 4. \(T_2=T_1\)

Two simple pendulums of length \(1~\text{m}\) and \(16~\text{m}\) are in the same phase at the mean position at any instant. If \(T\) is the time period of the smaller pendulum, then the minimum time after which they will again be in the same phase will be:
1. \(\frac{3T}{2}\)
2. \(\frac{3T}{4}\)
3. \(\frac{2T}{3}\)
4. \(\frac{4T}{3}\)
