A second's pendulum is placed in a space laboratory orbiting around the earth at a height `3R`, where R is the radius of the earth. The time period of the pendulum is

A

zero

B

`2sqrt(3)`

C

`4" sec"`

D

infinite

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
The second pendulum placed in a space laboratory orbiting around the earth is in a weightlessness state.
Hence g = 0 so `T=oo`
