A simple pendulum doing small oscillations at a place R height above earth surface has time period of T₁=4 ~s . T₂ would be it's time period if it is brought to a point which is at a height 2 R from earth surface. Choose the correct relation [ R = radius of Earth ]:
Options
- AT₁=T₂
- B2 ~T ₁=3 ~T ₂
- C3 ~T ₁=2 ~T ₂
- D2 ~T ₁= T ₂
Correct answer
C. 3 ~T ₁=2 ~T ₂
Step-by-step solution
Time period of simple pendulum, T =2 l ~g & ~g = GM ( R + h )^2 T ( R + h ) T ₁ ~T ₂ = ( R + h ₁ ) ( R + h ₂ ) = ( R + R ) ( R +2 R ) = 2 3 3 ~T ₁=2 ~T ₂
