The period of oscillation of a simple pendulum of length $L$ suspended from the roof of a vehicle which moves without friction down an inclined plane of inclination $\alpha$,is given by

  • A
    $2\pi \sqrt {\frac{L}{{g\cos \alpha }}} $
  • B
    $2\pi \sqrt {\frac{L}{{g\sin \alpha }}} $
  • C
    $2\pi \sqrt {\frac{L}{g}} $
  • D
    $2\pi \sqrt {\frac{L}{{g\tan \alpha }}} $
