A pendulum has time period T for small oscillations.An obstacle p is situated below the point of suspension from a top at a distance 3l/4 .The pendulum is at released from rest . Throughout the motion thr moving string makes an anglr with vertical.Find thr time after which the penndulum returns back to its initial position?

The pendulum will return to its original position after 3/4th of its previous time period.

According to the question, the total time period will be sum of half of the time period of both the oscillations.

T = T₁/2 + T₂/2

For the larger oscillation.

T₁ = 2π√(l/g)

For the smaller oscillations:

l₂ = l - 3l/4 = l/4

Hence ,

T₂ = 2π√(l/4g)

Hence the total time period,

T = T₁/2 + T₂/2

= π√(l/g) + π√(l/4g)

= π(√(l/g) + √(l/g)/2)

= 3π/2[ √(l/g)]

= 3/4[2π√l/g]

= 3T/4

Hence the pendulum will return to its original position after 3/4th of its previous time period.
