    The period of the simple pendulum in a stationary lift is T. If the lift move upwards with an acceleration g, the period will be

    A)  \[\infty \]           

    B)  \[\sqrt{\frac{3}{5}}T\]

    C) \[\sqrt{\frac{5}{3}}T\]        

    D)  \[\frac{T}{\sqrt{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     Time period of simple pendulum is given by \[T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}\]           ...(i) and        \[T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g+g}}\] \[({{g}_{eff}}=g+g)\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{2g}}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\] [from Eq.(i)] \[\therefore \] \[T=\frac{R}{\sqrt{2}}\]
