A sonometer wire with a suspended of M=2 kg is in resonance with a tunig fork. The apparatus is taken to the moon where the acceleration due to gravity is `1//6 th` that on the earth. To obtain resonance on the moon, the value of M should be

A

2 kg

B

6kg

C

12 kg

D

36 kg

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`n propto sqrt(Mg) ` as g is reduced to ` g/6`, the mass should be made `6M = 12 ` kg
