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

question 17

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
