Question

Assertion : The time ** of pendulum, on a satellite orbiting the earth is infinity

Reason : Time ** of a pendulum is inversely proportional to √g

(A) If both Assertion and Reason are true and the Reason is correct explanation of assertion

(B) If both Assertion and Reason are true, but reason is not correct explanation of the Assertion

(C) If Assertion is true, but the Reason is false

(D) If Assertion is false, but the Reason is true

Answer 1

Correct option: (A)

Explanation:

T = 2π√(ℓ / g) i.e. T ∝ (1 / √g)

on a satellite there is weightlessness so g = 0

hence T = ∞
