medium

A uniform metal rod is used as a bar pendulum. If the room temperature rises by $10°C$, and the coefficient of linear expansion of the metal of the rod is $2 \times 10^{-6}$ per $°C,$ the period of the pendulum will have percentage increase of

A

$-2 \times 10^{-3}$

B

$-1 \times 10^{-3}$

C

$2 \times 10^{-3}$

D

$1 \times 10^{-3}$

Solution

(d) Fractional change in period

$\frac{{\Delta T}}{T} = \frac{1}{2}\alpha \Delta \theta = \frac{1}{2} \times 2 \times {10^{ – 6}} \times 10 = {10^{ – 5}}$

$\%$ change$ = \frac{{\Delta T}}{T} \times 100 = {10^{ – 5}} \times 100 = {10^{ – 3}}\,\% $
