A
Both will keep correct time during the fall.
B
Both will keep incorrect time during the fall.
C
Wrist watch will keep correct time and clock will become fast.
D
Clock will stop but wrist watch will function normally.

D
Clock will stop but wrist watch will function normally.
d (d) Function of wrist watch depends upon spring action so it is not effected by gravity but pendulum clock has time period, $T = 2\pi \sqrt {\frac{l}{g}} $. During free fall effective acceleration becomes zero, so time period comes out to be infinity i.e. the clock stops.

A $LCR$ circuit behaves like a damped harmonic oscillator. Comparing it with a physical springmass damped oscillator having damping constant $\mathrm{b}$, the correct equivalence would be:
Two simple harmonic motions are represented by equations ${y_1} = 4\,\sin \,\left( {10t + \phi } \right)$ and ${y_2} = 5\,\cos \,10\,t$ What is the phase difference between their velocities?
The displacement of a damped harmonic oscillator is given by $x\left( t \right) = {e^{ - 0.1\,t}}\,\cos \left( {10\pi t + \varphi } \right)$ The time taken for its amplitude of vibration to drop to half of its initial value is close to .... $s$
Two mutually perpendicular simple harmonic vibrations have same amplitude, frequency and phase. When they superimpose, the resultant form of vibration will be
A pendulum has time period $T$. If it is taken on to another planet having acceleration due to gravity half and mass $ 9 $ times that of the earth then its time period on the other planet will be
A $0.10\, kg$ block oscillates back and forth along a horizontal surface. Its displacement from the origin is given by: $x = (10\,cm)\cos [(10\,rad/s)\,t + \pi /2\,rad]$. What is the maximum acceleration experienced by the block
A simple pendulum is suspended from the roof of a trolley which moves in a horizontal direction with an acceleration $a$, then the time period is given by $T = 2\pi \sqrt {\frac{l}{{g'}}} $, where $g'$ is equal to
A particle executes simple harmonic motion with an amplitude of $5\, cm$. When the particle is at $4\, cm$ from the mean position, the magnitude of its velocity is $SI\,units$ is equal to that of its acceleration. Then, its periodic time in seconds is
In the figure, ${S_1}$ and ${S_2}$ are identical springs. The oscillation frequency of the mass $m$ is $f$. If one spring is removed, the frequency will become
The displacement of a particle varies according to the relation $x = 3 \ sin\ 100t + 8\ cos^2\ 50t$ . Which of the following is incorrect about this motion
