प्रश्न
A pendulum clock keeping correct time is taken to high altitudes,
विकल्प
it will keep correct time
its length should be increased to keep correct time
its length should be decreased to keep correct time
it cannot keep correct time even if the length is changed

उत्तर
its length should be decreased to keep correct time
Time period of pendulum,T =\[2\pi\sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}\]
At higher altitudes, the value of acceleration due to gravity decreases. Therefore, the length of the pendulum should be decreased to compensate for the decrease in the value of acceleration due to gravity.

It is proposed to move a particle in simple harmonic motion on a rough horizontal surface by applying an external force along the line of motion. Sketch the graph of the applied force against the position of the particle. Note that the applied force has two values for a given position depending on whether the particle is moving in positive or negative direction.
