NEET Physics Question - Oscillation

Assertion (A): A spring block watch gives the correct time in orbiting satellite.

Reason (R): Time period of a spring block watch is independent of \(g\) and depends only on spring factor and mass of the block.

Both (A) & (R) are true and the (R) is the correct explanation of the (A)

Both (A) & (R) are true but the (R) is not the correct explanation of the (A)

(A) is true but (R) is false

Both (A) and (R) are false

Solution:

The time period of a spring-mass system is \(T = 2\pi \sqrt{m/k}\). This equation shows that the time period is independent of the acceleration due to gravity \(g\). Therefore, a spring block watch would function correctly in an orbiting satellite where effective \(g\) is zero. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
