The length of a seconds pendulum at a height \(h=2 R\) from earth surface will be _______. (Given: \(R =\) Radius of earth and acceleration due to gravity at the surface of earth \(g =\pi^{2}\,m / s ^{-2}\) )

  1. A \(\frac{2}{9}\,m\)
  2. B \(\frac{4}{9}\,m\)
  3. C \(\frac{8}{9}\,m\)
  4. D \(\frac{1}{9}\,m\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{1}{9}\,m\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(T =2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{ L }{ g }}, \quad g ^{\prime}=\frac{ GM }{9 R ^{2}}=\frac{ g }{9}=\frac{\pi^{2}}{9}\) \(2=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{ L }{\pi^{2}} \times 9}\) \(1=\pi \sqrt{ L } \times \frac{3}{\pi} \Rightarrow L =\frac{1}{9}\,m\)
