The length of the second's pendulum on the surface of the earth is 1 m . If the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the moon is one-sixth of the acceleration due to gravity of the earth, then the length of the second's pendulum on the surface of the moon will be
Options
- A1 6 m
- B6 m
- C1 36 m
- D36 m
Correct answer
A. 1 6 m
Step-by-step solution
Seconds pendulum is a special pendulum having a time period of 2 s . Using the formula T = 2 π L g If the time period remains the same and g is reduced by a factor of 6 . L should be reduced by a factor of 6. ⇒ L = 1 6 m on moon.
