JEE Main 2025 Physics question
Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R). Assertion (A) : Time period of a simple pendulum is longer at the top of a mountain than that at the base of the mountain. Reason (R) : Time period of a simple pendulum decreases with increasing value of acceleration due to gravity and vice-versa. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
Answer: (2)
Solution
As height increases, g decreases, T = 2π√(l/g) increases; R correctly explains A.
