Simple Pendulum

The mass and the diameter of a planet are three times the respective values for the Earth. The period of oscillation of simple pendulum on the Earth is 2 s. The period of oscillation of the same pendulum on the planet would be:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. Diameter 3×3\times means radius 3×3\times: g′=G(3M)(3R)2=g3g' = \frac{G(3M)}{(3R)^2} = \frac{g}{3}.
  2. T∝1g⇒T′=23 sT \propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{g}} \Rightarrow T' = 2\sqrt{3}\text{ s}
  3. So the answer is (d) 232\sqrt{3} s.
