    The period of a simple pendulum measured inside a stationary lift is found to be T. If the lift starts accelerating upwards with acceleration of g/3, then the time period of the pendulum is :

    A) \[1.53\times {{10}^{7}}m/s\]                                     

    B) \[A{{m}^{2}}\]

    C) \[A{{m}^{2}}\]                                  

    D) \[A{{m}^{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Here: Time period of simple pendulum in stationary lift is \[{{T}_{1}}=T\] Acceleration of the lift \[a=g/3\] The acceleration of the lift in upward direction is \[g=g+a=g+\frac{g}{3}=\frac{4g}{3}\] Now the time period of simple pendulum is \[T=2\pi \frac{\sqrt{l}}{g}\]  \[\Rightarrow \]  \[T\propto \frac{\sqrt{l}}{g}\] Hence,  \[\frac{{{T}_{1}}}{{{T}_{2}}}=\frac{\sqrt{{{g}_{1}}}}{{{g}_{2}}}=\frac{\frac{\sqrt{4}}{3}g}{g}=\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}\] So           \[{{T}_{2}}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}T\]
