JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 7. gravitation

Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A) : Time period of a simple pendulum is longer at the top of a mountain than that at the base of the mountain.
Reason (R): Time period of a simple pendulum decreases with increasing value of acceleration due to gravity and vice-versa.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :

  1. A Both \((\mathbf{A})\) and \((\mathbf{R})\) are true and \((\mathbf{R})\) is the correct explanation of \((\mathbf{A})\)
  2. B (A) is true but (R) is false
  3. C (A) is false but (R) is true
  4. D Both \((\mathbf{A})\) and \((\mathbf{R})\) are true but \((\mathbf{R})\) is not the correct explanation of \((\mathbf{A})\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) Both \((\mathbf{A})\) and \((\mathbf{R})\) are true and \((\mathbf{R})\) is the correct explanation of \((\mathbf{A})\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

As h increases, g decreases, T increases \(\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{T}=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{\ell}{\mathrm{~g}}} \\ & \mathrm{~g}=\frac{\mathrm{g}_0 \mathrm{R}^2}{(\mathrm{R}+\mathrm{h})^2} \end{aligned}\)
