Question 15

A simple pendulum and a mass-spring system each have a time period TTT on Earth. They are taken to the surface of a planet where the acceleration due to gravity is g9\frac{g}{9}9g​, where ggg is the acceleration due to gravity on Earth. What are the time periods of the pendulum and the mass-spring system on this planet?

A

Simple pendulum: 3T3T3T, Mass-spring system: TTT

B

Simple pendulum: T3\frac{T}{3}3T​, Mass-spring system: TTT

C

Simple pendulum: 3T3T3T, Mass-spring system: 3T3T3T

D

Simple pendulum: T3\frac{T}{3}3T​, Mass-spring system: 3T3T3T
