The Time Period for the Rotation of the Conical Pendulum $\theta$

question 23

Multiple Choice

The time period for the rotation of the conical pendulum moving in a horizontal circle (bob mass = M,string length L,and vertical half angle $\theta$ ; see figure) is given by the expression:

• A)2 \(\pi\) \(\times\) {Lcos \(\theta\) /g}^1/2
• B)2 \(\pi\) \(\times\) {Lsin \(\theta\)/g}^1/2
• C)2 \(\pi\) \(\times\) Lcos \(\theta\) /g
• D)2 \(\pi\) \(\times\) Lsin \(\theta\) /g
• E){2 \(\pi\) \(\times\) Lcos \(\theta\) /g}^1/2
