A lift is descending with acceleration $g/3$ . What will be the time period of a simple pendulum suspended from its ceiling if its time period in staionary life is $'T'$ ?

If the mass of a bob of a pendulum increased by $9$ times, the period of pendulum will ?

How many amplitudes of $SHO$ covers the distance in the half period ?

The bob of a pendulum was released from a horizontal position. The length of the pendulum is $10 \mathrm{~m}$. If it dissipates $10 \%$ of its initial energy against air resistance, the speed with which the bob arrives at the lowest point is : [Use, $\mathrm{g}: 10 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}$ ]

Answer the following questions:

$(a)$ Time period of a particle in $SHM$ depends on the force constant $k$ and mass $m$ of the particle:

$T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}$. A stmple pendulum executes $SHM$ approximately. Why then is the time pertodof.anondwers period of a pendulum independent of the mass of the pendulum?

$(b)$ The motion of a simple pendulum is approximately stmple harmonte for small angle oscillations. For larger angles of oscillation, a more involved analysis shows that $T$ is greater than $2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}} .$ Think of a qualitative argument to appreciate this result.

$(c)$ A man with a wristwatch on his hand falls from the top of a tower. Does the watch give correct time during the free fall?

$(d)$ What is the frequency of oscillation of a simple pendulum mounted in a cabin that is freely failing under gravity?
