The time period of a simple pendulum measured inside a stationary lift is found to be $T$. If the lift starts accelerating upwards with an acceleration $g/3$,the new time period is:

  • A
    $T\sqrt{3}$
  • B
    $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}T$
  • C
    $T/\sqrt{3}$
  • D
    $T/3$

$A$ 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?

When will the motion of a simple pendulum be simple harmonic?

The length of the seconds pendulum is decreased by $0.3 \ cm$ when it is shifted from place $A$ to place $B$. If the acceleration due to gravity at place $A$ is $981 \ cm/s^2$,the acceleration due to gravity at place $B$ is $($ Take $\pi^2 = 10$ $)$ (in $cm/s^2$)

$A$ simple pendulum oscillates in a vertical plane. When it passes through the mean position,the tension in the string is $3$ times the weight of the pendulum bob. What is the maximum displacement of the pendulum string with respect to the vertical in degrees?

Two pendulums of length $121 \ cm$ and $100 \ cm$ start vibrating in phase. At some instant,the two are at their mean position in the same phase. The minimum number of vibrations of the shorter pendulum after which the two are again in phase at the mean position is:
