उत्तर
It is given that:
Length of the pendulum, l = 5 m
Acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 ms-2
Acceleration due to gravity at the moon, g' = 1.67 ms-2
(a) Time period \[\left( T \right)\] is given by,
\[T = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}\]
\[= 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{5}{9 . 8}}\]
\[ = 2\pi\sqrt{0 . 510} = 2\pi \left( 0 . 71 \right) s\]
i.e. the body will take 2 \[\pi\](0.7) seconds to complete an oscillation.
Now, frequency \[\left( f \right)\]is given by,
\[f = \frac{1}{T}\]
\[\therefore f = \frac{1}{2\pi\left( 0 . 71 \right)} \]
\[ = \frac{0 . 70}{\pi} Hz\]
(b) Let
\[g'\] be the value of acceleration due to gravity at moon. Time period of simple pendulum at moon \[\left( T' \right)\],is given as:
\[T' = 2\pi\sqrt{\left( \frac{l}{g'} \right)}\]
On substituting the respective values in the above formula, we get:
\[ = \frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{1 . 67}{5}} = \frac{1}{2\pi}\left( 0 . 577 \right)\]
\[ = \frac{1}{2\pi\sqrt{3}} Hz\]
