Four pendulums P Q R S are suspended from elastic supports . out of these P and R are of the same length . Q is smaller than P and S is the longest . If the pendulum bob P is displaced to give small vibration 

1- amplitude of vibration for  S is maximum   2-amplitude of vibration for R is maximum

3- amplitude of vibration for Q is maximum    4- amplitude of vibration for all is same

Dear Student,
Please find below the solution to the asked query:
  •  This question can be answered on the concept of resonance
  • When a body is forced to vibrate with a force of frequency equal to its natural frequency, then the amplitude of vibration becomes maximum
  • The pendulums P and R have same natural frequency due to equal length
  • Hence, when P is displaced to give a small vibration, then it applied a periodic force on the other pendulums
  • As the pendulum R has same natural frequency as that of the pendulum P, it can be concluded that the amplitude of vibration for R is maximum
Answer: Option - 2
