The amplitude of a simple pendulum, oscillating in air with a small spherical bob, decreases from 10 cm to 8 cm in 40 seconds. Assuming that Stokes law is valid, and the ratio of the coefficient of viscosity of air to that of carbon dioxide is 1.3 and bair =1.3, the time in which amplitude of this pendulum will reduce from 10 cm to 5 cm in carbon dioxide will be close to (ln 5 = 1.601, ln 2 = 0.693) :

(1) 231 s

(2) 208 s

(3) 161 s

(4) 142 s
