Time period of a simple pendulum in a stationary lift is ' \(T\) '. If the lift accelerates with \(\frac{ g }{6}\) vertically upwards then the time period will be ..... (where \(g =\) acceleration due to gravity)

  1. A \(\sqrt{\frac{6}{5}} T\)
  2. B \(\sqrt{\frac{5}{6}} T\)
  3. C \(\sqrt{\frac{6}{7}} T\)
  4. D \(\sqrt{\frac{7}{6}} T\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\sqrt{\frac{6}{7}} T\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(T =2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{\ell}{ g _{\text {eff }}}}\) \((a)\) when \(a =0, T =2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{\ell}{ g }}\) \((b)\) when \(a =\frac{ g }{6}, T ^{\prime}=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{\ell}{ g +\frac{ g }{6}}}\) \(\therefore T ^{\prime}=\sqrt{\frac{6}{7}} T\)
