The time period of a simple pendulum on the surface of the earth is \(T\). If the pendulum is taken to a height equal to half of the radius of the earth, then its time period is

  1. A \(\frac{\mathrm{T}}{2}\)
  2. B \(\frac{3 \mathrm{~T}}{2}\)
  3. C 2 T
  4. D 3 T
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{3 \mathrm{~T}}{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( g' = g \left( \frac{R}{R+h} \right)^2 \) \( g' = g \left( \frac{R}{R+\frac{R}{2}} \right)^2 = g \left( \frac{R}{\frac{3R}{2}} \right)^2 = g \left( \frac{2}{3} \right)^2 = \frac{4g}{9} \) \( T' = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{L}{g'}} \)…
