A simple pendulum is taken from the equator to the pole. lts period

Question

A simple pendulum is taken from the equator to the pole. lts period (A) decreases (B) increases (C) remains the same (D) decreases and then increases

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Time period of pendulum is given by T=2π √(l/g) or T propto (1/√ g) If simple pendulum is taken from the equator to the pole, acceleration due to gravity increases. Hence, time period of penduium decreases.

Q. A simple pendulum is taken from the equator to the pole. lts period

decreases

increases

remains the same

decreases and then increases

becomes infinity

Time period of pendulum is given by $T = 2 π \frac{l}{g} or T \propto \frac{1}{g}$
If simple pendulum is taken from the equator to the pole, acceleration due to gravity increases.
Hence, time period of penduium decreases.
