The time period of a simple pendulum is directly and inversely proportional to the square root of its
Correct answer: D. D
- A. A
- B. B
- C. C
- D. D
Explanation
The time period of a simple pendulum is directly proportional to the square root of its length and inversely proportional to the square root of acceleration due to gravity.Therefore, the correct option is D based on the provided table:

About Simple Harmonic Motion
Simple harmonic motion is oscillation in which acceleration is directly proportional to displacement and directed toward the equilibrium position. Work includes displacement, velocity, acceleration, phase, period, frequency, amplitude and energy, with applications to springs and simple pendulums. The restoring force and the conditions for SHM distinguish it from general periodic motion.
