What is the time period of the seconds pendulum, on a planet similar to earth, but mass and radius three times as that of the earth?
Options
- A2 s
- B6 s
- C2 3     s
- D2 3     s
Correct answer
D. 2 3     s
Step-by-step solution
g = G M R 2 g p g e = M p M e × R e R p 2 = 3 × 1 9 = 1 3 T = 2 π l g T p T e = g e g p = 3 T p = 3 T e Time period at earth for seconds pendulum = 2 s ∴ T p = 2 3     s
