Laws Of Motion Question 250

Question: There is a simple pendulum hanging from the ceiling of a lift. When the lift is stand still, the time period of the pendulum is T. If the resultant acceleration becomes g/4, then the new time period of the pendulum is [DCE 2004]

Options:

A) 0.8 T

B) 0.25 T

C) 2 T

D) 4 T

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

When lift is at rest, T=2πl/g

If acceleration becomes g/4 then T=2πlg/4=2π4lg=2×T
