A boy timed 30 oscillations of a certain pendulum thrice and obtained 1min. 10s, 1min. 12s and 1min. 7s respectively.The mean period of oscillation of the pendulum is

  • A. 0.14s
  • B. 0.43s
  • C. 2.32s
  • D. 6.97s

Correct Answer: C. 2.32s

Explanation

Total time = (3 x 60) + 29

= 209sec

period \(\frac{t}{n}\) = \(\frac{209}{90}\)

= 2.32sec
