A pendulum performs S.H.M. with period $\sqrt{3}$ second in a stationery lift. If lift moves up with acceleration $\frac{\mathrm{g}}{3}$, the period of pendulum is $[\mathrm{g}=$ acceleration due to gravity $]$
  1. $2 \cdot 00$ second
  2. $1 \cdot 5$ second
  3. $2 \cdot 5$ second
  4. $1 \cdot 75$ second

Solution

$\mathrm{T}=\sqrt{3} \quad \mathrm{a}=\frac{\mathrm{g}}{3}$ $\mathrm{T}^{\prime}=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{\ell}{\mathrm{g}+\frac{\mathrm{g}}{3}}}$ $\therefore \frac{T^{\prime}}{T}=\sqrt{\frac{g}{4 g / 3}}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$ $\mathrm{T}^{\prime}=\sqrt{3} \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}=\frac{3}{2}=1.5 \mathrm{~sec}$
