The Time period of oscillation of a simple pendulum whose length is very large (>> Radius of earth R) is T. What will be the time period of a simple pendulum whose length is equal to the radius of earth(R) ?

a
T22
b
T2
c
2T
d
T2

detailed solution

Correct option is D

For a pendulum whose length( l) is comparable to the radius of earth(R), time period is given byT = 2πg1l+1R If  l >>R,T = 2πRg If  l=R,T' = 2πR2g ∴T'T = 12     ⇒ T' = T2
