Worked practice questions

A simple pendulum of period $T$ on Earth is taken to the Moon where $g_{moon} = g/6$. Its new period is:

  1. $T/\sqrt 6$
  2. $T\sqrt 6$
  3. $T/6$
  4. $6T$
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. $T\sqrt 6$

$T \propto 1/\sqrt g$. Moon's g is g/6, so new period = $T \sqrt 6 \approx 2.45 T$. Pendulum oscillates 2.45× slower on Moon.
