MCQ
A simple pendulum doing small oscillations at a place $\mathrm{R}$ height above earth surface has time period of $T_1=4 \mathrm{~s}$. $T_2$ would be it's time period if it is brought to a point which is at a height $2 R$ from earth surface. Choose the correct relation $[R=$ radius of Earth]:
  • A
    $\mathrm{T}_1=\mathrm{T}_2$
  • B
    $2 \mathrm{~T}_1=3 \mathrm{~T}_2$
  •  $3 \mathrm{~T}_1=2 \mathrm{~T}_2$
  • D
    $2 \mathrm{~T}_1=\mathrm{T}_2$

Answer

Correct option: C.
 $3 \mathrm{~T}_1=2 \mathrm{~T}_2$
c
$\mathrm{T}_1=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{\ell}{\mathrm{GM}}(2 \mathrm{R})^2}$

$\mathrm{~T}_2=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{\ell}{\mathrm{GM}}(3 \mathrm{R})^2}$

$\therefore \frac{\mathrm{T}_1}{\mathrm{~T}_2}=\frac{2}{3}$

A particle $P$ is sliding down a frictionless hemispherical bowl. It passes the point $A$ at $t = 0$. At this instant of time, the horizontal component of its velocity is $v$.
