Problem
A simple pendulum of length 1.00m is set into small oscillations. A student gives it identical pushes once every 2.00s. Take g=9.8m s−2.
(i) Will these pushes produce resonance?
(ii) If not, determine the time interval between successive pushes that should be used to achieve resonance (answer correct to two decimal places).
