Questions  

Statement I: The time period of a pendulum, on a satellite orbiting the earth in infinity.
Statement II: Time period of a pendulum is inversely proportional to square root of acceleration due to gravity.

a
If both statement I and statement II are true and statement II is the correct explanation of statement I.
b
If both statement I and statement II are true but statement II is not the correct explanation of statement I.
c
If statement I is true but statement II is false
d
If both statement I and statement II are false

detailed solution

Correct option is A

From the relation of time periodT = 2πlg   ⇒ T ∝lgWhen the satellite is orbiting the earth, the value of g inside it is zero. Hence the time period of pendulum in a satellite will be infinity and it is also clear that time period of pendulum is inversely proportional to square root of acceleration due to gravity g.
