$A$ mass falls from a height $h$ and its time of fall $t$ is recorded in terms of time period $T$ of a simple pendulum. On the surface of the Earth,it is found that $t = 2T$. The entire setup is taken to the surface of another planet whose mass is half that of the Earth and radius is the same. The same experiment is repeated and corresponding times are noted as $t'$ and $T'$.

  • A
    $t' = \sqrt{2} T'$
  • B
    $t' > 2 T'$
  • C
    $t' < 2 T'$
  • D
    $t' = 2 T'$

$A$ coin is placed on a horizontal plate. The plate performs $S.H.M.$ vertically with an angular frequency $\omega$. The amplitude $A$ of oscillations is gradually increased. The coin will lose contact with the plate for the first time when the amplitude is ($g =$ acceleration due to gravity).

The time period of a simple pendulum in air is $T$. If the pendulum is immersed in water and executes $SHM$,its time period is $t$. The value of $\frac{T}{t}$ is [density of the bob is $\frac{5000}{3} \ kg \ m^{-3}$ and density of water is $1000 \ kg \ m^{-3}$].

The angular velocity and the amplitude of a simple pendulum are $\omega$ and $A$ respectively. At a displacement $x$ from the mean position,its kinetic energy is $T$ and potential energy is $V$. Then the ratio $\frac{V}{T}$ is
