What is a conical pendulum? Obtain an expression for its time period.
Hello candidate,
In simple languages definition of a conical pendulum can be summed up as a conical pendulum consists of a weight (or bob) fixed on the end of a string or rod suspended from a pivot.
Theoretically, The time period of a conical pendulum is directly proportional to the square root of its length. The time period of a conical pendulum is directly proportional to the square root of the cosine ratio of the semi-vertical angle that is the angle made by the string of conical pendulum with the vertical and is mathematically expressed as T= 2π√L/g.
