\(T\) is the time period of simple pendulum on the earth's surface. Its time period becomes \(x T\) when taken to a height \(R\) (equal to earth's radius) above the earth's surface. Then, the value of \(x\) will be:

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

At surface of earth time period \(T =2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{\ell}{ g }}\) At height \(h = R\) \(g ^{\prime}=\frac{ g }{\left(1+\frac{ h }{ R }\right)^2}=\frac{ g }{4}\) \(xT =2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{\ell}{( g / 4)}}\) \(\Rightarrow xT =2 \times 2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{\ell}{ g }}\)…
