Question

Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R). Assertion (A) : Time period of a simple pendulum is longer at the top of a mountain than that at the base of the mountain. Reason (R): Time period of a simple pendulum decreases with increasing value of acceleration due to gravity and vice-versa. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :

Options:

Answer:

A

Solution:

As h increases, g decreases, T increases $T = 2 π \frac{ℓ}{g} g = \frac{g _{0} R ^{2}}{( R + h ) ^{2}}$
