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) : A simple pendulum is taken to a planet of mass and radius, 4 times and 2 times, respectively, than the Earth. The time period of the pendulum remains same on earth and the planet.
Reason (R): The mass of the pendulum remains unchanged at Earth and the other planet.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is NOT the correct explanation of (A)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} & g=\frac{G M}{R^2} \\ & g^{\prime}=\frac{G(4 M)}{(2 R)^2}=g \end{aligned}\) A is correct, \(R\) is correct ; but since \(T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{\ell}{g}}\) doesn't depend on mass ; R doesn't explain A .
