Simple Pendulum

In a stationary lift, time period of a simple pendulum is 'TT'. The lift starts accelerating downwards with acceleration (g4)\left(\frac{g}{4}\right), then the time period of the pendulum will be

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. Lift accelerating down: geff=g−g4=3g4g_{eff} = g - \frac{g}{4} = \frac{3g}{4}.
  2. T′=Tggeff=T43T' = T\sqrt{\frac{g}{g_{eff}}} = T\sqrt{\frac{4}{3}}
  3. So the answer is (b) 23T\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}T.
