Question

If the pendulum is brought on the moon where the gravitational acceleration is about g/6, approximately what will its period now be? View Available Hint(s)

Answer 1

The new period will be √6 *T

Step-by-step explanation:

period ,T=2π√(L/g) ................equation 1

where T is the period on earth

gravitational acceleration on the moon is g/6

T1 = 2π√[L/(g/6)]

T1=2π√(6L/g) ...............equation 2

divide equation 2 by 1

T1/T =2π√(6L/g)÷2π√(L/g)

T1/T =√(6L/L)

T1/T =√6

T1 = √6 *T
