Assertion: The time period of a pendulu...

Assertion: The time period of a pendulum on a satellite orbiting the Earth is infinity.
Reasons: Time period of a pendulum is inversely proportional to square root of acceleration due to gravity.
Which of the following statements is correct?

A

Both assertion and reason are true and reason explain assertion correctly.

B

Both assertion and reason are true and reason does not explain assertion correctly.

C

Assertion is true but reason is false.

D

Assertion is false and reason also false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Assertion: In a satellite, acceleration due to gravity g = 0
`T=2pisqrt((l)/(0))=infty`
Reason: The time period of a simple pendulum is `T=2pisqrt((l)/(g))`
