The time period of oscillation of a simple pendulum of length L...

The time period of oscillation of a simple pendulum of length LL suspended from the roof of a vehicle, which moves without friction down an inclined plane of inclination α\alpha, is given by :The time period of oscillation of a simple pendulum of length L suspended from the roof of a vehicle, which moves

Options

  1. A2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{L}{\left(gcos\alpha\right)}}
  2. B2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{L}{\left(gsin\alpha\right)}}
  3. C2πLg2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{L}{g}}
  4. D2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{L}{\left(gtan\alpha\right)}}

Correct answer

A. 2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{L}{\left(gcos\alpha\right)}}

Step-by-step solution

Acceleration of vehicle down the incline will be a=gsinαa = gsin\alpha
In the frame of the vehicle, we have to apply pseudo force. The Force diagram is shown in figure.
Component of mgmg along the inclined (i.e. mgsinαmgsin\alpha) will balance the pseudo force. Therefore, geff=gcosα{g}_{eff} = g cos \alpha
The time period of oscillation of a simple pendulum of length L suspended from the roof of a vehicle, which moves

Hence,

T=2πLgeff=2πLgcosαT = 2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{L}{{g}_{eff}}} = 2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{L}{g cos \alpha}}.
