Simple Harmonic Motion 3 Question 6

6. The period of oscillation of simple pendulum of length L suspended from the roof of the vehicle which moves without friction, down an inclined plane of inclination α, is given by

(a) 2πLgcosα

(b) 2πLgsinα

(c) 2πLg

(d) 2πLgtanα

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 6. (a)

Solution:

  1. Free body diagram of bob of the pendulum with respect to the accelerating frame of reference is as follows

Net force on the bob is Fnet =mgcosα or net acceleration of the bob is geff =gcosα

or

T=2πLgeff 

NOTE

  • Whenever point of suspension is accelerating

 Take, T=2πLgeff 

where, geff =ga

a= acceleration of point of suspension.

In this question, a=gsinα (down the plane)

|ga|=geff =g2+(gsinα)2+2(g)(gsinα)cos(90+α)=gcosα
