Simple Pendulum

The time period of a simple pendulum inside a stationary lift is 3\sqrt{3} second. When the lift moves upwards with an acceleration g/3g/3, the time period will be ( g=g = acceleration due to gravity)

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

  1. Lift accelerating up: geff=g+g3=4g3g_{eff} = g + \frac{g}{3} = \frac{4g}{3}.
  2. T′=3⋅34=32 sT' = \sqrt{3}\cdot\sqrt{\frac{3}{4}} = \frac{3}{2}\text{ s}
  3. So the answer is (a) 1.5 s.
