The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the frequency of each system when taken to the Moon, where the acceleration due to gravity (g) is different from that on Earth. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the systems**: We have four systems: - Simple Pendulum - Physical Pendulum - Torsional Pendulum - Spring-Mass System 2. **Frequency of Simple Pendulum**: The frequency \( f \) of a simple pendulum is given by: \[ f = \frac{1}{T} = \frac{1}{2\pi} \sqrt{\frac{g}{L}} \] where \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity and \( L \) is the length of the pendulum. Since \( g \) changes on the Moon, the frequency will change. 3. **Frequency of Physical Pendulum**: The frequency of a physical pendulum is also dependent on \( g \): \[ f = \frac{1}{T} = \frac{1}{2\pi} \sqrt{\frac{g}{I/mh}} \] where \( I \) is the moment of inertia, \( m \) is the mass, and \( h \) is the distance from the pivot to the center of mass. Since \( g \) changes, the frequency will also change. 4. **Frequency of Torsional Pendulum**: The frequency of a torsional pendulum is given by: \[ f = \frac{1}{T} = \frac{1}{2\pi} \sqrt{\frac{k}{I}} \] where \( k \) is the torsional constant and \( I \) is the moment of inertia. This system does not depend on \( g \), so its frequency remains unchanged on the Moon. 5. **Frequency of Spring-Mass System**: The frequency of a spring-mass system is given by: \[ f = \frac{1}{T} = \frac{1}{2\pi} \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}} \] where \( k \) is the spring constant and \( m \) is the mass. This system also does not depend on \( g \), so its frequency remains unchanged on the Moon. 6. **Conclusion**: The systems whose frequencies remain unchanged when taken to the Moon are the Torsional Pendulum and the Spring-Mass System. Therefore, the answer is that the Torsional Pendulum and Spring-Mass System will have unchanged frequencies. ### Final Answer: The systems that will have unchanged frequencies on the Moon are the Torsional Pendulum and the Spring-Mass System.
