The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Time period, T = $ 2 \pi \sqrt{ \frac{ l }{ g }} $
or $ \frac{ \triangle T }{ T } = \frac{ 1}{ 2} \frac{ \triangle l }{ l } $
For ls, $ \triangle T = \frac{ 1}{2} \bigg( \frac{ \triangle l }{ l } \bigg) T = \frac{ 1}{ 2} \times 0.02 \times T = 0.01 T = 0.01 s $
For a day, $ \triangle T = 24 \times 60 \times 60 \times 0.01 = 864 $s

Physical World

The physical world includes the complications of the natural world around us. It is a type of analysis of the physical world around us to understand how it works. The fundamental forces that control nature are:

  • Gravitational Force is a universal force that exists as an outcome of mutual attraction between any two objects with respect to their masses.
  • Electromagnetic Force can be understood as the force that is present between the charged particles. The force is stated by Coulomb’s law.
  • Strong Nuclear Force is the force that ties the protons and neutrons in a nucleus. Of all the elemental forces in nature, a strong nuclear force is the strongest as its name suggests.
  • Weak Nuclear Force can only be noticed in some of the nuclear processes such as the beta decay of the nucleus.
