Question
A clock S is based on oscillation of a spring and a clock P is based on pendulum motion. Both clocks run at the same rate on earth. On a planet having the same density as earth but twice the radius
Answer: Option B
:
B
g=43πρGR. If density is same then g∝R According to problem Rp=2Re∴gp=2ge
For clock P (based on pendulum motion) T=2π√lg
Time period decreases on planet so it will run faster because gp>ge
For clock S (based on oscillation of spring) T=2π√mk
So it does not change.
