Answer the following questions:
(a) A man with a wristwatch on his hand falls from the top of a tower. Does the watch give the correct time during the free fall?
(b) What is the frequency of oscillation of a simple pendulum mounted in a cabin that is freely falling under gravity?

(a) Wristwatches work on the principle of spring action and are not affected by gravity’s acceleration.

As a result, the time on the watch will be accurate.

(b) The cabin’s acceleration owing to gravity will be zero throughout its free fall. As a result, the basic pendulum’s frequency of oscillation will also be zero.
