Question
How does the time of oscillation of simple pendulum change when it is taken from surface of the earth to deep in the mine?
Solution
The time period of oscillation of simple pendulum is given by,
When a person goes from the surface of the earth to deep in the mine, the acceleration due to gravity decreases. Therefore, time period of oscillation of the simple pendulum increases deep in the mine.
