MCQ
A simple pendulum is taken from the equator to the pole. Its period
  • Decreases
  • B
    Increases
  • C
    Remains the same
  • D
    Decreases and then increases

Answer

Correct option: A.
Decreases
a
(a)As we go from equator to pole the value of g increases. Therefore time period of simple pendulum $\left( {T \propto \frac{1}{{\sqrt g }}} \right)$ decreases.

$A$ particle of mass m is constrained to move on $x$ -axis. $A$ force $F$ acts on the particle. $F$ always points toward the position labeled $E$. For example, when the particle is to the left of $E, F$ points to the right. The magnitude of $F$ is a constant $F$ except at point $E$ where it is zero. The system is horizontal. $F$ is the net force acting on the particle. The particle is displaced a distance $A$ towards left from the equilibrium position $E$ and released from rest at $t = 0.$ Velocity - time graph of the particle is
