$A$ pendulum suspended from the ceiling of a train oscillates with a time period $2 \ s$,when the train is accelerating at $10 \ m/s^2$. What will be its time period when the train retards at $10 \ m/s^2$?

  • A
    $2 \ s$
  • B
    $2\sqrt{2} \ s$
  • C
    $2/\sqrt{2} \ s$
  • D

$A$ simple pendulum of length $L$ is constructed from a point object of mass $m$ suspended by a massless string attached to a fixed pivot point. $A$ small peg is placed at a distance $2L/3$ directly below the fixed pivot point so that the pendulum would swing as shown in the figure. The mass is displaced $5$ degrees from the vertical and released. How long does it take to return to its starting position?
