Questions  

A simple pendulum hung from the ceiling of a train moving at constant speed has a period T. If the train starts accelerating or decelerating, then what will be the effect on time period of pendulum?

a
Decreases only when train accelerates
b
Decreases only when train decelerates
c
Decreases in both cases
d
Increases in both cases

detailed solution

Correct option is

T = 2πl|g→+a→|  .   a→ is in horizontal direction in both cases. Hence |g→+a→| > g, so T decreases in both cases.
