A simple pendulum is suspended from the ceiling of a car and its period of oscillation is 
when the car is at rest. The car starts moving on a horizontal road with a constant acceleration 
(equal to the acceleration due to gravity, in magnitude) in the forward direction. To keep the time period same, the length of the pendulum will have to be
A
