MCQ
The motion of a torsional pendulum is:
- APeriodic.
- BOscillatory.
- CAngular simple harmonic.
- ✓All of the above
✓
Answer
Correct option: D.
All of the above
Because it completes one oscillation in a fixed interval of time and the oscillations are in terms of rotation of the body through some angle.
