Question

Assume there are two identical simple pendulum Clocks-1 is placed on the earth and Clock-2 is placed on a space station located at a height h above the earth surface. Clock-1 and Clock-2 operate at time periods 4s and 6s respectively. Then the value of h is -(consider radius of earth R_E = 6400 km and g on earth 10m/s^2)

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: C. (c) t ∝ 1 gand g ∝ 1(R+h)^2 t_1t_2= g 'g= R^2(R+h)^2 t_1t_2= 46= R(R+h) ⇒h=3200 km
