Question

A heavy metal sphere is suspended from a spring. When pulled down a little and released, it oscillates up and down with a frequency f. If it is taken to the moon (where the acceleration due to gravity is one – sixth that on earth) the frequency of vertical oscillation will

• A. Remain unchanged
• B. become 6f
• C. become $\frac{f}{6}$
• D. become $\sqrt{6}f$

Answer 1

The correct option is A Remain unchanged

Since the frequency of the vertical oscillations is independent of the acceleration due to gravity, the correct choice is (a).
