A man with a wrist watch on his hands fall from the top of a tower. Does the watch give correct time?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Yes, because the working of wrist (spring wound) watch is independent of 'g' but depends upon the P.E. Stored in the spring.

Answer the following questions: (a) Time period of particle is S.H.M. depends on the force constant k and mass m of the particle : T=2pisqrt(m//k). A simple pendulum executes S.H.M. approximately. Why then is the time-period of a pendulum independent of the mass of the pendulum? (b) The motino of simple pendulum is approximatley simple harmonic for small angles of oscillation. For large angle of oscillation, a more involved analysis (beyond the scope of this book) shows that T is greater that 2pisqrt(l//g) . Think of a quanlitative argument to appreciate this result. (c) A man with a wrist watch on his hand falls from the top of tower. Does the watch give correct time during the free fall? (d) What is teh frequency of oscillation of a simple pendulum mounted iin a cabin that is freely falling under gravity?
