The period of small oscillations of a simple pendulum of length λ if its point of suspension O moves a with a constant acceleration α = α 1 
– α 2 
with respect to earth is ( 
and 
are unit vectors in horizontal and vertically upward directions respectively)
A
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
Point O is moving as shown
So acc. Of particle w.r.t O
= 
So g eff . = 
So time period
= 2 π
