Time period of a simple pendulum is TT inside a lift when the lift is stationary. If the lift moves upwards with an acceleration g2\dfrac{g}{2}, the time period of pendulum will be :

Options

  1. A3T\sqrt{3}T
  2. BT3\dfrac{T}{\sqrt{3}}
  3. C32T\sqrt{\dfrac{3}{2}}T
  4. D23T\sqrt{\dfrac{2}{3}}T

Correct answer

D. 23T\sqrt{\dfrac{2}{3}}T

Step-by-step solution

When lift is stationary

T=2πLgT = 2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{L}{g}}

When lift is moving upwards

⇒⇒ Pseudo force acts downwards

⇒geff=g+g2=3g2⇒ {g}_{eff} = g + \dfrac{g}{2} = \dfrac{3g}{2}

⇒⇒ New time period

T′=2πLgeff=2π2L3g{T}^{'} = 2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{L}{{g}_{eff}}} = 2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{2L}{3g}}

T′=23T{T}^{'} = \sqrt{\dfrac{2}{3}}T
