The time period of a simple pendulum is T remaining at rest inside a lift. Find the time period of pendulum when lift starts to move up with an acceleration of g / 4 .
Options
- AT
- BT / 2
- C2 T / 5
- D2 T / 5 .
Correct answer
D. 2 T / 5 .
Step-by-step solution
When the lift is at rest, the time period of the simple pendulum is T=2 l g Now, if the lift is moving up with an acceleration g 4 then the effective acceleration due to gravity aligned & g^ =g+ g 4 = 5 g 4 & Time period T^ =2 l g^ &=2 l 5 g / 4 &= 2 5 2 l g = 2 5 T aligned
