MCQ
What effect occurs on the frequency of a pendulum if it is taken from the earth surface to deep into a mine
  • A
    Increases
  • Decreases
  • C
    First increases then decrease
  • D
    None of these

Answer

Correct option: B.
Decreases
b
(b) In deep mine $g' = g\,\left( {1 - \frac{d}{R}} \right)$; i.e., $g$ decreases so according to $n \propto \sqrt g ,$ frequency also decreases.
