A pendulum clock that keeps correct time on the earth is taken to the moon it will run (it is given that $g_{Moon} = g_{Earth}/6$ )

A

At correct rate

B

$6$ time faster

C

$\sqrt 6 $ times faster

D

$\sqrt 6 $ times slowly

Solution

(d) $T = 2\pi \sqrt {\frac{l}{g}} $==>$\frac{{{T_e}}}{{{T_m}}} = \sqrt {\frac{{{g_m}}}{{{g_e}}}} = \sqrt {\frac{{{g_e}/6}}{{{g_e}}}} = \frac{1}{{\sqrt 6 }}$

$ \Rightarrow $ ${T_m} = \sqrt 6 {T_e}$ i.e. clock becomes slower.
