If the length of seconds pendulum on the surface of the earth is 1 m. The length of the seconds pendulum on the surface of the planet is g_ planet = 7 2 g_ earth periodic time of the seconds pendulum is same on both planets
Options
- A1 7 m
- B2 7 m
- C7 2 m
- D7 m
Correct answer
C. 7 2 m
Step-by-step solution
The time period of a simple pendulum is given by T = 2 l g . Since the time period of a seconds pendulum is constant ( T = 2 s ), we have l g = constant . l_ earth g_ earth = l_ planet g_ planet Substituting the given values l_ earth = 1 m and g_ planet = 7 2 g_ earth : 1 g_ earth = l_ planet 7 2 g_ earth l_ planet = 7 2 m Answer: 7 2 m
