    Which of the following will change the time period as they are taken to moon?
    (a) A simple pendulum
    (b) A physical pendulum
    (c) A torsional pendulum
    (d) A spring-mass system
    digAnsr:   a,b
    Ans : (a) A simple pendulum
    (b) A physical pendulum
    As the time period of a simple pendulum and a physical pendulum depends on the acceleration due the gravity, the time period of these pendulums changes when they are taken to the moon.
