    A lift is ascending with an acceleration equal to g/3 What will be the time period of a simple pendulum suspended from its ceiling if its time period in stationary lift isT:

    A)  \[\frac{T}{4}\]             

    B)                         \[\left( \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \right)T\]        

    C)         \[\left( \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \right)T\]       

    D)  \[\frac{T}{2}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    Here:     Acceleration of lift \[(a)=g\text{/}3\] Initial time period \[{{T}_{1}}=T\] The effective acceleration when it is ascending \[{{g}_{2}}=g-a=g-\frac{8}{3}=\frac{2g}{3}\] Time period of simple pendulum \[T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}\]    or    \[T\propto \frac{\sqrt{1}}{g}\] Hence   \[\frac{{{T}_{1}}}{{{T}_{2}}}=\sqrt{\frac{{{g}_{2}}}{{{g}_{1}}}}=\sqrt{\frac{\frac{2}{3}g}{g}}\] or            \[{{T}_{2}}=\left( \sqrt{\frac{3}{2}} \right){{T}_{1}}=\left( \sqrt{\frac{3}{2}} \right)T\]
