What is the percentage change in the time period, if the length of simple pendulum increases by `3%`.

Answer» Time period of simple pendulum of length l is
`T=2pisqrt((l)/(g))` …(i)
When length of simple pendulum increases by `3%` then
`l_(1)=l+(3)/(100)l=((103)/(100))l`
`(Deltal)/(l)=(l_(1)-1)/(l)=(3)/(100)`
Taking log of (i) and differentiating it , we have `(DeltaT)/(T)=(1)/(2)(Deltal)/(l)`
`:. % ` change in time period
`=(DeltaT)/(T)xx100=(1)/(2)(Deltal)/(l)xx100=(1)/(2)xx3=1.5%`
