The time 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
    $2 \pi \sqrt{L / (g \cos \alpha)}$
  • B
    $2 \pi \sqrt{L / (g \sin \alpha)}$
  • C
    $2 \pi \sqrt{L / g}$
  • D
    $2 \pi \sqrt{L / (g \tan \alpha)}$

What is the frequency of oscillation of a pendulum suspended in a freely falling lift?

The time period of a simple pendulum of length $L$ is $T_1$. The time period of a uniform rod of the same length $L$ suspended from one end and oscillating in a vertical plane is $T_2$. The amplitude of oscillation is small in both cases. Then the ratio $\frac{T_1}{T_2}$ is:
