Question 57: Oscillations

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 :

Accepted Answer

$$\begin{aligned}
&	ext { As } h 	ext { increases, } g 	ext { decreases, } \mathrm{T} 	ext { increases }\
&\begin{aligned}
& \mathrm{T}=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{\ell}{\mathrm{~g}}} \
& \mathrm{~g}=\frac{\mathrm{g}_0 \mathrm{R}^2}{(\mathrm{R}+\mathrm{h})^2}
\end{aligned}
\end{aligned}$$
