Assertion : The time period of a pendulum on a satellite orbiting the earth in infinite
Reason:The period of a pendulum is inversely propotional to square root of acceleration due to gravity

Options

A. If both assertion and reason are true and the reasopn is correct explanation of the assertion
B. If both assertion and reason are true and but not the correct explanation of assertion
C. If assertion is true but the reason is false
D. If both assertion and reason are false

Answer

A

Explanation

From the relation of time period
`T = 2pi sqrt((1)/(g)) rArr T prop (1)/(sqrt(g))`
When the satallite is orbiting the earth the value of `g` inside it is zero Hence the time period of pendulum at a satellate will be initialy and it is also clear that time oeriod of pendulum is inversely proporional to square root of acceleration due to gravity `g`
