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 :
Pick an option to check your answer.
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
\(\begin{aligned}
& \mathrm{T}=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{\ell}{\mathrm{~g}}} \\
& \mathrm{~g}=\frac{\mathrm{g}_0 \mathrm{R}^2}{(\mathrm{R}+\mathrm{h})^2}
\end{aligned}\)
\(\begin{aligned}
& \mathrm{T}=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{\ell}{\mathrm{~g}}} \\
& \mathrm{~g}=\frac{\mathrm{g}_0 \mathrm{R}^2}{(\mathrm{R}+\mathrm{h})^2}
\end{aligned}\)
