    A man measure time period of a pendulum (T) in stationary lift. If the lift moves upward with acceleration\[g/4\], then new time period will be

    A)  \[\sqrt{\frac{2}{5}}T\]                  

    B)  \[\sqrt{\frac{5}{2}}T\]

    C)  \[\frac{\sqrt{5}T}{2}\]                  

    D)  \[\frac{2T}{\sqrt{5}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                    When the lift is moving upwards, then from Newtons second law of motion, net force on him is \[F=ma\] \[F=-ma\] Therefore, \[-ma=mg-R\] \[R=mg+ma\] \[R=m(g+a)\] Time period                 \[T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}\]                 \[T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g+a}}\] When lift is stationary, time period is                 \[T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}\] Also\[g=g+a=g+g/4=\frac{5g}{4}\]                 \[\frac{T}{T}=\frac{\sqrt{5/4g}}{g}=\frac{\sqrt{5}}{2}\]                 \[T=\frac{2}{\sqrt{5}}T\]
