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
Options:
A .  S will run faster than P
B .  P will run faster than S
C .  They will both run at the same rate as on the earth
D .  None of these
Answer: Option B
:
B
g=43πρGR. If density is same then gR According to problem Rp=2Regp=2ge
For clock P (based on pendulum motion) T=2πlg
Time period decreases on planet so it will run faster because gp>ge
For clock S (based on oscillation of spring) T=2πmk
So it does not change.
