A pendulum suspended from the ceiling of a train has a period T, when the train is at rest. When the train is accelerating with a uniform acceleration a, the period of oscillation will
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
The periodic time of a simple pendulum of length 
is given by 
In accelerated frame, pseudo force of magnitude - 
also acts, hence net acceleration increases.
Time period decreases.
