$A$ simple pendulum is suspended from the ceiling of a lift. When the lift is at rest,its period is $T$. With what acceleration $a$ should the lift be accelerated upward in order to reduce the period to $\frac{T}{2}$? (Take $g$ as the acceleration due to gravity.)

  • A
    $2g$
  • B
    $3g$
  • C
    $4g$
  • D
    $g$
