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 α\alpha, is given by:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

  1. The vehicle slides freely with acceleration gsin⁡αg\sin\alpha down the incline.
  2. In its frame the pseudo force cancels the along-incline part of gravity, leaving geff=gcos⁡αg_{eff} = g\cos\alpha (perpendicular to the incline).
  3. So the answer is (a) 2πL/(gcos⁡α)2\pi\sqrt{L/(g\cos\alpha)}.
