The time period of a simple pendulum in a stationary lift is $T$. If the lift accelerates with $\frac{g}{6}$ vertically upwards,then the new time period will be:
(where $g =$ acceleration due to gravity)

  • A
    $\sqrt{\frac{6}{5}} T$
  • B
    $\sqrt{\frac{5}{6}} T$
  • C
    $\sqrt{\frac{6}{7}} T$
  • D
    $\sqrt{\frac{7}{6}} T$

$A$ pendulum clock that keeps correct time on the earth is taken to the moon. It will run (given that $g_{Moon} = g_{Earth}/6$):

$A$ simple pendulum oscillates freely between points $A$ and $B$. We now put a peg (nail) at the point $C$ as shown in the figure. As the pendulum moves from $A$ to the right,the string will bend at $C$ and the pendulum will go to its extreme point $D$. Ignoring friction,the point $D$

$A$ pendulum bob has a speed of $3\, m/s$ at its lowest position. The pendulum is $0.5\, m$ long. The speed of the bob,when the length makes an angle of $60^o$ with the vertical,will be ..... $m/s$ (If $g = 10\, m/s^2$)

The bob of a simple pendulum is displaced from its equilibrium position $O$ to a position $Q$ which is at height $h$ above $O$ and the bob is then released. Assuming the mass of the bob to be $m$ and the time period of oscillations to be $2.0 \, s$,the tension in the string when the bob passes through $O$ is
