If acceleration due to gravity on the moon is one-sixth that on the earth, then the length and time period of seconds pendulum on the surface of moon are

A

6 m, 1.5 s

B

1/6 m, 2 s

C

1/6 m, 0.5 s

D

6 m, 2 s

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

`(l_(2))/(l_(1))=(g_(2))/(g_(1))=(1)/(6)`
`l_(2)=(1)/(6)m`
`T_(2)=2s`
Since, it is a seconds pendulum.
