    The period of a simple pendulum inside a stationary lift is T. The lift accelerates upwards with an acceleration of g/3. The time period of pendulum will be

    A)  \[\sqrt{2}T\]     

    B)         \[\frac{T}{\sqrt{2}}\]                    

    C)  \[\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}T\]  

    D)  \[\frac{T}{3}\]

    E)  \[\frac{2}{3}T\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    When lift accelerates upwards, then effective acceleration on the pendulum \[{{g}_{eff}}=g+\frac{g}{3}=\frac{4g}{3}\] \[\therefore \]Time period\[T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{{{g}_{eff}}}}=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{4g/3}}\]                                 \[=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}.2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}\]                                 \[=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}T\]
