PENDULUM ON MOON

Q. If a simple pendulum is taken to the moon from the earth without changing the length, what is the effect on it's time period?

Ans: As the time period of a simple pendulum is inversely proportional to the square root of acceleration due to gravity and the acceleration due to gravity of the moon is less than that of the earth, time period increases (square root of 6 times)

Which is always constant for a machine of given design: MA or VR ? Ans: VR remains constant for a machine of given design as it depends on the distances moved by the load and effort but MA can vary due to the friction developed between the moving parts of the machine.

What is Regelation?

The melting point of ice is 0°C at normal pressure but when you increase the pressure on ice it melts at the temperature below 0°C( i.e. melting point of ice decreases with pressure). When the pressure applied is released then water formed from ice starts freezing. This phenomenon is called REGELATION.
