Question

A simple pendulum doing small oscillations at a place $\mathrm{R}$ height above earth surface has time period of $T_1=4 \mathrm{~s}$. $T_2$ would be it's time period if it is brought to a point which is at a height $2 \mathrm{R}$ from earth surface. Choose the correct relation $[R=$ radius of earth $]$ :

$\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{T}_1=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{\ell}{\mathrm{GM}}(2 \mathrm{R})^2} \ & \mathrm{~T}_2=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{\ell}{\mathrm{GM}}(3 \mathrm{R})^2} \ & 	herefore \frac{\mathrm{T}_1}{\mathrm{~T}_2}=\frac{2}{3}\end{aligned}$
