1.the length of a seconds pendulum on the earth where g is 9.8 m/sec^2 is 1m.the length of a seconds pendulum on a planet where g=4.9 m/sec^2 will be
1.1m
2.2m
3.0.5m
4.0.25m
 
ans. with reason

really sorrry ...stupid mistake..
its 1 m approx on earth...and
l/g is const
g=g/2
so l=L/2
=1/2=0.5 m

sorry again

akhil ur logic is rite.l/g is const so as g becomes g/2 l will become l/2
pls do not rate

i have a doubt can anyone justify why time period of oscillation should be constant everywhere??? and what is the logical reason which you can account for change in length in some where with diff acc due to gravity???i dont understand this part!!!

in my book the ans is given as
time period of second pendulum is =2 sec
& then
l1/g1=l2/g2 & then getting that.....i don't know fron where they got that 2 sec..........really still i m not clear too

T remains same in both the cases
therefore
T = root L/g = root 1/9.8 ----------------------(1)
T' = root L'/g' = root L'/4.9---------------------(2)
(1) = (2)
root1/9.8 = root L'/4.9
1/9.8 = L' / 4.9
L' = 1/2 = 0.5m

T= 2 * 3.14 1/9.8
  = 2 * 3.14 *0.319
  = 2.006
which is approximately 2

its not tht time period SHOULD be constant..u r basically making a pendulum of T=2 sec on tne particular planet...now if such a pendulum on earth needed a length l on earth for T=2..then length of it shud be l/2 on the planet

arey,that 2 sec is there as a second's pendulum is 1 which has time period=2s.......so concept is that on both the planets its T is 2s and so the sol.n given abv.........

@ arpitsr
i think i got my ans 4 my doubt i wanted to know from where we r getting that 2 sec time period...according to u in every second's pendulum it will be 2...........
ok....
can u tell me why so ..or any 1 else..can help me....plz.....
