Neha and Suhani are playing with two identical pendulums. They leave the bob from a certain position and wait for it to return to the same point. The one who waits for a shorter time wins. Neha leaves her pendulum from point L and Suhani leaves her pendulum from point P (see figure). What happens?
a. Neha wins as her bob comes back faster.
b. Suhani wins as her bob comes back faster.
c. No one wins as the bobs come back at the same time.
d. We cannot say any of the above for sure.

The pendulum bob would return at the same time because the initial angle a pendulum bob is dropped does not affect it's period (the time it takes for the pendulum to move back and forth), however the one with a larger angle move faster but would eventually arrive at the same "starting point" due to varying displacements made.

The longer the length of string, the farther the pendulum falls; and therefore, the longer the period, or back and forth swing of the pendulum. The greater the amplitude, or angle, the farther the pendulum falls; and therefore, the longer the period.)
