The mass and the diameter of a planet are three times the respective values for the Earth. The period of oscillation of a simple pendulum on the Earth is 2 s. The period of oscillation of the same pendulum on the planet would be:
A
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
T = 2 π 
, 
T p = 
T e
Time period at earth for seconds pendulum = 2sec.
∴ T p = 
sec.
