Oscillations Question 6

Question 6 - 2024 (30 Jan Shift 2)

A simple pendulum is placed at a place where its distance from the earth’s surface is equal to the radius of the earth. If the length of the string is $4 m$, then the time period of small oscillations will be s. [ take $\left.g=\pi^{2} ms^{-2}\right]$

Show Answer

Answer: (8)

Solution:

Acceleration due to gravity $g^{\prime}=\frac{g}{4}$

$T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{4 \ell}{g}}$

$T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{4 \times 4}{g}}$

$T=2 \pi \frac{4}{\pi}=8 s$
