The time period of a simple pendulum in a lift descending with constant acceleration g is
Options
(a) T=2π√l/g
(b) T=2π√l/2g
(c) zero
(d) Infinite
Correct Answer:
Infinite
Explanation:
When the lift falls freely under gravity, effective ‘g’ for pendulum in the lift = zero.
T = 2π √(l/g) = 2π√(l/o) = Infinite.
