(d) $T = 2\pi \sqrt {\frac{l}{g}} $==>$\frac{{{T_e}}}{{{T_m}}} = \sqrt {\frac{{{g_m}}}{{{g_e}}}} = \sqrt {\frac{{{g_e}/6}}{{{g_e}}}} = \frac{1}{{\sqrt 6 }}$

$ \Rightarrow $ ${T_m} = \sqrt 6 {T_e}$ i.e. clock becomes slower.

    A stationary tuning fork is in resonance with an air column in a pipe. If the tuning fork is moved with a speed of $2 ms ^{-1}$ in front of the open end of the pipe and parallel to it, the length of the pipe should be changed for the resonance to occur with the moving tuning fork. If the speed of sound in air is $320 ms ^{-1}$, the smallest value of the percentage change required in the length of the pipe is. . . . . .

    Phase space diagrams are useful tools in analyzing all kinds of dynamical problems. They are especially useful in studying the changes in motion as initial position and momentum are changed. Here we consider some simple dynamical systems in one-dimension. For such systems, phase space is a plane in which position is plotted along horizontal axis and momentum is plotted along vertical axis. The phase space diagram is $x(t)$ vs. $p(t)$ curve in this plane. The arrow on the curve indicates the time flow. For example, the phase space diagram for a particle moving with constant velocity is a straight line as shown in the figure. We use the sign convention in which position or momentum upwards (or to right) is positive and downwards (or to left) is negative. $Image$
