The mass and the diameter of a planet are three times the respective values for the Earth. The period of oscillation of a simple pendulum on the Earth is 2 ~s . The period of oscillation of the same pendulum on the planet would be:
Options
- A3 2 ~s
- B2 3 ~s
- C3 2 s
- D2 3 s
Correct answer
D. 2 3 s
Step-by-step solution
Acceleration due to gravity g = GM R ² g_ p g_ e = M_ p M_ e ( R_ e R_ p )²=3 ( 1 3 )²= 1 3 Also T 1 g T _ p T _ e = g _ e g _ p = 3 T _ p =2 3 ~s
