Calculate the length of the second's pendulum on the surface of moon where acceleration due to gravity is one sixth as that on earth.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

For second pendulum, t = 2s
As `T = 2pisqrt((l)/(g_(m)))`
`therefore (T^(2)g_(m))/(4pi^(2)) = l`
`((2)^(2) xx g_(e))/(6 xx 4 xx (3.14)^(2)) = l [because g_(m) (g_(e))/(6)]`
` (4xx 9.8)/(24 xx 3.14 xx 31.4) = l`
l = 0.165 m
