Question:

The ratio of the time period of a simple pendulum of length $\ell_0$ with a pendulum of infinite length is

(Where, R is the radius of earth)

Options:

zero

$\sqrt{\frac{\ell_0}{R}}$

$\sqrt{\frac{\ell_0+R}{R}}$

$\sqrt{\frac{R}{\ell_0+R}}$

Correct Answer:

$\sqrt{\frac{\ell_0}{R}}$

Explanation:

$t_1=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{\ell_0}{g}}$ and $t_2=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{R}{g}}$
