Easy MCQ +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2022

Time period of a simple pendulum in a stationary lift is 'T'. If the lift accelerates with ${g \over 6}$ vertically upwards then the time period will be :

(Where g = acceleration due to gravity)

  1. A $\sqrt {{6 \over 5}} T$
  2. B $\sqrt {{5 \over 6}} T$
  3. C $\sqrt {{6 \over 7}} T$ Correct answer
  4. D $\sqrt {{7 \over 6}} T$

Solution

$T^{\prime}=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{I}{g_{\text {eff }}}}$ <br/><br/>$T^{\prime}=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{I}{g+\frac{g}{6}}}=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{6 l}{7 g}}$ <br/><br/>$\Rightarrow T^{\prime}=\sqrt{\frac{6}{7}} T$
