Theacceleration due to gravity on the surface of moon is 1.7 ms–2.What is the time period of a simple pendulum on the surface of moonif its time period on the surface of earth is 3.5 s? (gon the surface of earth is 9.8 ms–2)
Acceleration due togravity on the surface of moon, =1.7 m s–2
Acceleration due togravity on the surface of earth, g = 9.8 m s–2
Time period of a simplependulum on earth, T = 3.5 s
Where,
l is the lengthof the pendulum
The length of thependulum remains constant.
On moon’ssurface, time period,
Hence, the time periodof the simple pendulum on the surface of moon is 8.4 s.
