A man measure the period of a simple pendulum inside a stationary lift and finds it to be T seconds. If the lift accelerates upwards with an accelerating g/4, then the period of the pendulum will be

a
T
b
T4
c
2T5
d
2T5

detailed solution

Correct option is C

in stationary lift T=2πlg ------(1)In upward motion of liftT1=2πlg+a-----(2)        here a is acceleration of liftdivide equation (2) by (1)T1T=gg+a=gg+g/4     given a=g/4→T1T=45=25cross multiply, to obtain new time period of simple pendulum⇒T1=2T5.
