Problem

(a) Define resonance in the context of forced oscillations. (b) Using suitable physical reasoning, show qualitatively why the time period TT of a simple pendulum depends on the square root of its length ℓ\ell for small angular displacements. (c) Two simple pendulums P and Q have lengths 1.00 m1.00\,\text{m} and 1.44 m1.44\,\text{m} respectively. If pendulum P makes exactly 150150 complete oscillations in a given interval of time, calculate the number of complete oscillations made by pendulum Q in the same interval. Show all steps clearly.
