    A pendulum has time period T. If it is taken on to another planet having acceleration due to gravity half and mass 9 times that of the earth then its time period on the other planet will be                                  [CMEET Bihar 1995]

    A)            \[\sqrt{T}\]                           

    B)            T

    C)            \[{{T}^{1/3}}\]                     

    D)            \[\sqrt{2}\]T

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

               \[T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}\Rightarrow T\propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{g}}\]\[\Rightarrow \frac{{{T}_{P}}}{{{T}_{e}}}=\sqrt{\frac{{{g}_{e}}}{{{g}_{P}}}}=\sqrt{\frac{2}{1}}\Rightarrow T'=\sqrt{2}T\]
