Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.
Assertion $A:$ $A$ pendulum clock when taken to Mount Everest becomes fast.
Reason $R:$ The value of $g$ (acceleration due to gravity) is less at Mount Everest than its value on the surface of earth.
In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.

View Solution$A$ planet of radius $R = \frac{1}{10} \times$ (radius of Earth) has the same mass density as Earth. Scientists dig a well of depth $\frac{R}{5}$ on it and lower a wire of the same length and of linear mass density $\lambda = 10^{-3} \ kg \ m^{-1}$ into it. If the wire is not touching anywhere,the force applied at the top of the wire by a person holding it in place is (take the radius of Earth $= 6 \times 10^6 \ m$ and the acceleration due to gravity on Earth $g_e = 10 \ m \ s^{-2}$) (in $N$)
If the acceleration due to gravity at the Earth is $g$,the mass of the Earth is $80$ times that of the Moon,and the radius of the Earth is $4$ times that of the Moon,then the value of the acceleration due to gravity at the surface of the Moon will be:

View SolutionEarth is assumed to be a sphere of radius $R$. If $g_{\phi}$ is the value of effective acceleration due to gravity at latitude $30^{\circ}$ and $g$ is the value at the equator,then the value of $|g - g_{\phi}|$ is ($\omega$ is the angular velocity of rotation of the Earth,$\cos 30^{\circ} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$).
