13.Oscillations
easy

A pendulum suspended from the ceiling of a train has a period $T$ when the train is at rest. When the train travels same distance per unit time, the period of oscillation is

A

Increase

B

Remains unaffected

C

Become twice

D

Decrease

Solution

When a train is moving with acceleration, the pendulum is exerted by a pseudo acceleration opposite to the direction of the train. As a result, there will be an increase in effective acceleration on the pendulum. The time period will decrease as the time period is inversely proportional to the square root of effective acceleration.
