A second's pendulum is placed in a space laboratory orbiting around the earth at a height `3R`, where R is the radius of the earth. The time period of the pendulum is

A

`2sqrt(3)sec`

B

4 sec

C

Infinite

D

zero

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
The acceleration in the space laboratory is 0.
`therefore T= 2pi sqrt((l)/(0)) to oo`
