    The period of a simple pendulum at rest is 2 second. When its period will be measured in a lift accelerating upward with \[\,2\,\,m/{{s}^{2}}\] then its period will be:

    A)  \[\sqrt{\frac{40}{8}}\]                  

    B)         \[\sqrt{\frac{72}{40}}\]                

    C)  \[\sqrt{\frac{40}{12}}\]                

    D)         \[\frac{8}{4}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    The relation for time period is given by \[t\propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{g}}\]    \[\because \] \[T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}\] Hence \[\frac{{{t}_{1}}}{t}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{g+a}}\times \frac{\sqrt{g}}{1}=\sqrt{\frac{g}{g+a}}=\sqrt{\frac{10}{12}}\] hence \[{{t}_{1}}=t\sqrt{\frac{10}{12}}=2\sqrt{\frac{10}{12}}=\sqrt{\frac{40}{12}}\]
