13.Oscillations
easy

A simple pendulum hangs from the ceiling of a car. If the car accelerates with a uniform acceleration, the frequency of the simple pendulum will

A

Increase

B

Decrease

C

Become infinite

D

Remain constant

Solution

(a) In this case frequency of oscillation is given by

$n = \frac{1}{{2\pi }}\sqrt {\frac{{\sqrt {{g^2} + {a^2}} }}{l}} $ where $a$ is the acceleration of car. If $ a$ increases then $n$ also increases.
