Simple Pendulum

Choose the correct answer. When a point of suspension of pendulum is moved vertically upward with acceleration ' aa ', its period of oscillation

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

  1. Suspension accelerating upward: geff=g+a>gg_{eff} = g + a > g.
  2. T=2πlg+aT = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{l}{g + a}} is smaller than 2πlg2\pi\sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}.
  3. So the answer is (a) decreases.
