Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(2 \sqrt{2} \mathrm{~s}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\text {As g } =\frac{\mathrm{GM}}{\mathrm{R}^2} \)
\( \therefore \frac{\mathrm{g}_{\text {Earth }}}{\mathrm{g}_{\text {planet }}} =\frac{\mathrm{M}_{\text {Exhh }}}{\mathrm{M}_{\text {planct }}} \times \frac{\mathrm{R}_{\text {planet }}^2}{\mathrm{R}_{\text {Earth }}}=\frac{\mathrm{M}}{2 \mathrm{M}} \times \frac{(2 \mathrm{R})^2}{\mathrm{R}}=\frac{2}{1} \)
\( \text {Also } \mathrm{T} \propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{\mathrm{g}}} \)
\( \therefore \frac{\mathrm{T}_{\text {Earth }}}{\mathrm{T}_{\text {planet }}} =\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{g}_{\text {planet }}}{\mathrm{g}_{\text {Earth }}}} \)
\( \therefore \frac{2}{\mathrm{~T}_{\text {planet }}} =\sqrt{\frac{1}{2}} \)
\( \therefore \mathrm{T}_{\text {planet }} =2 \sqrt{2} \mathrm{~s}\)
