Answer:
0.62499 m
Explanation:
L = Length of the clapper rod
g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²
I = Moment of inertia = 15 kgm²
m = Mass of bell = 30 kg
d = Distance to the bell = 0.8 m
Time period is given by
[tex]T=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{I}{mgd}}\\\Rightarrow T=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{15}{30\times 9.81\times 0.8}}\\\Rightarrow T=1.58593\ s[/tex]
Time period of a simple pendulum is given by
[tex]T_s=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{L}{g}}\\\Rightarrow L=g\dfrac{T_s^2}{4\pi^2}\\\Rightarrow L=9.81\dfrac{1.58593^2}{4\pi^2}\\\Rightarrow L=0.62499\ m[/tex]
The time period of the pendulum and the simple pendulum is equal
The length of the clapper rod for the bell to ring silently is 0.62499 m
