The period of a simple pendulum is measured as $T$ in a stationary lift. If the lift moves upwards with an acceleration of $5g$,the new period will be:

  • A
    The same
  • B
    Increased by $3/5$
  • C
    Decreased by $2/3$ times
  • D
    None of the above

$A$ bob of mass $m$ suspended by a thread of length $l$ undergoes simple harmonic oscillations with time period $T$. If the bob is immersed in a liquid that has density $1/4$ times that of the bob and the length of the thread is increased by $1/3$ of the original length,then the time period of the simple harmonic oscillations will be :-

$A$ simple pendulum of length $l$ has a brass bob attached at its lower end. Its period is $T$. If a steel bob of the same size,having a density $x$ times that of brass,replaces the brass bob and its length is changed so that the period becomes $2T$,then the new length is:

There is a simple pendulum hanging from the ceiling of a lift. When the lift is standing still,the time period of the pendulum is $T$. If the resultant acceleration becomes $g/4$,then the new time period of the pendulum is: (in $T$)
