The length of a seconds pendulum at a height h = 2R from earth...

The length of a seconds pendulum at a height h=2Rh = 2R from earth surface will be:

(Given: R=R = Radius of earth and acceleration due to gravity at the surface of earth g=π2ms−2g = {\pi}^{2}m{s}^{- 2})

Options

  1. A29m\dfrac{2}{9}m
  2. B49m\dfrac{4}{9}m
  3. C89m\dfrac{8}{9}m
  4. D19m\dfrac{1}{9}m

Correct answer

D. 19m\dfrac{1}{9}m

Step-by-step solution

The acceleration due to gravity at height 2R2R from the surface of the Earth will be,

g′=gR2(R+h)2⇒g′=gR2(R+2R)2⇒g′=g9{g}^{'} = \dfrac{g{R}^{2}}{{\left(R + h\right)}^{2}} ⇒ {g}^{'} = \dfrac{g{R}^{2}}{{\left(R + 2R\right)}^{2}} ⇒ {g}^{'} = \dfrac{g}{9}

Length of the second's pendulum at the surface of the Earth is 1m1m.

Since, time period of a pendulum is given by,

T=2πlg⇒T′T=l′l×gg′⇒1=l′l×gg′⇒l′=l9=19mT = 2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{l}{g}} ⇒ \dfrac{{T}^{'}}{T} = \sqrt{\dfrac{{l}^{'}}{l} \times \dfrac{g}{{g}^{'}}} ⇒ 1 = \sqrt{\dfrac{{l}^{'}}{l} \times \dfrac{g}{{g}^{'}}} ⇒ {l}^{'} = \dfrac{l}{9} = \dfrac{1}{9}m
