A simple pendulum is taken to 64 km above the earth's surface. It's time period will :
Options
- AIncrease by 1 %
- BDecrease by 1 %
- CIncrease by 2 %
- DDecrease by 2 %
Correct answer
A. Increase by 1 %
Step-by-step solution
T = 2 π l g = 2 π l R + h 2 G M T ∝ R + h or T ' T = R + h R = 1 + h R = 1 + 1 1 0 0 ∴    T ' T - 1 = 1 1 0 0 ∴    T ' - T T × 1 0 0 = 1 ∴ : Time period will increase by 1%
