Simple Pendulum
The time period of oscillation of a simple pendulum of length L suspended from the roof of a vehicle, which moves without friction down an inclined plane of inclination , is given by:
Show answer and solution
Answer: (a)
- The vehicle slides freely with acceleration down the incline.
- In its frame the pseudo force cancels the along-incline part of gravity, leaving (perpendicular to the incline).
- So the answer is (a) .
