Simple Pendulum

The time period of a simple pendulum inside a stationary lift is 'TT'. When the lift starts accelerating upwards with an acceleration (g3)\left(\frac{g}{3}\right), the time period of the pendulum will be

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. Lift accelerating up: geff=g+g3=4g3g_{eff} = g + \frac{g}{3} = \frac{4g}{3}.
  2. T′=T34=32TT' = T\sqrt{\frac{3}{4}} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}T
  3. So the answer is (b).
