Can we use pendulum clock inside an artifical statellite ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

No, In an artifical statellite, a body is in a state of weightlessness I i.e., g=0
`:. T= 2pi sqrt((l)/(g))=oo` (infinity).
Inside the statllite, the pendulum does not oscillate. Hence a pendulum clock cannot be used an artifical statellite.
