Gravitation Question 112

Question: A simple pendulum has a time period [T1] when on the earth’s surface and [T2] when taken to a height R above the earth’s surface, where R is the radius of the earth. The value of [T2/T1] is[IIT-JEE 2001]

Options:

A) 1

B) [2]

C) 4

D) 2

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

If acceleration due to gravity is g at the surface of earth then at height R it value becomes [g=g(RR+h)2=g4] [T1=2πlg and ,T2=2πlg/4] [T2T1=2]
