A second's pendulum is mounted in a rocket. Its period of oscillation decreases when the rocket

A

Moves up with uniform accelertion

B

Moves up with a uniform velocity

C

Comes down with uniform acceleration

D

Moves round the earth in a geosterationary orbit.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

`T=2pi""sqrt((l)/(g))`
When the rocket accelerates upwards g increases to (g+a)
