There is a simple pendulum hanging from the ceiling of a lift. When the lift is stand 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
$0.8 T$
$0.25 T$
$2 T$
$4 T$
A simple pendulum of length $L$ is constructed from a point object of mass $m$ suspended by a massless string attached to a fixed pivot point. $A$ small peg is placed a distance $2L/3$ directly below the fixed pivot point so that the pendulum would swing as shown in the figure below. The mass is displaced $5$ degrees from the vertical and released. How long does it take to return to its starting position?
A girl is swinging a swing in the sitting position. What will be the effect on the time period of the swing if she stand up ?
