Answer:
The correct option is;
- 4x
Explanation:
From the inverse square law, as the distance from the source of a physical quantity increases, the intensity of the source is spread over an area proportional to the square of the distance of the object from the source
The inverse square law can be presented as follows;

As the distance, r, increases, the surface it covers also increases by the power of 2
Therefore, where the distance increases from r to 2·r, we have;
When, I, remain constant

The surface increases to 4·S by the inverse square law
Therefore, the correct option is 4 × x.
Answer:
The length of the simple pendulum is 2.4 meters.
Explanation:
Time period of simple pendulum is given by :

L is the length of pendulum
The time period of the rope is given by :

L' is the length of the rod, L' = 3.6 m
It is given that, the rod have the same period as a simple pendulum and we need to find the length of simple pendulum i.e.

On solving the above equation as :

L = 2.4 m
So, the length of the thin rod that is hung vertically from one end and set into small amplitude oscillation 2.4 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.
