A pendulum is first vibrated on the surface of earth. Its period is T. It is then taken to the surface of moon where acceleration due to gravity is 1/6th of that on earth. Its period will be :

A

`(T)/(6)`

B

`(T)/(3)`

C

`(T)/(sqrt(3))`

D

`Tsqrt(6)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`(T_(2))/(T_(1))=sqrt((a_(1))/(a_(2)))`
`:. T_(2)=T sqrt((g)/(g//6))=T sqrt(6)`
Thus correct choice is (d).
