What effect occurs on the frequency of a pendulum if it is taken from the earth surface to deep into a mine

AIncreases
Correct Answer
BDecreases
CFirst increases then decrease
DNone of these

Solution

In deep mine $$g' =g\left(1-\dfrac {d}{R}\right)$$,

i.e., $$g$$ decreases with depth.
so $$n\propto \sqrt g$$, frequency also decreases.
