b (b) Initially time period was $T = 2\pi \sqrt {\frac{l}{g}} $.
When train accelerates, the effective value of $g$ becomes $\sqrt {({g^2} + {a^2})} $ which is greater than $g$
Hence, new time period, becomes less than the initial time period.

If $x, v$ and $a$ denote the displacement, the velocity and the acceleration of a particle executing simple harmonic motion of time period $T$, then, which of the following does not change with time?
When a body of mass $1.0\, kg$ is suspended from a certain light spring hanging vertically, its length increases by $5\, cm$. By suspending $2.0\, kg$ block to the spring and if the block is pulled through $10\, cm$ and released the maximum velocity in it in $m/s$ is : (Acceleration due to gravity $ = 10\,m/{s^2})$
A mass $m$ is attached to two springs as shown in figure. The spring constants of two springs are $K _1$ and $K _2$. For the frictionless surface, the time period of oscillation of mass $m$ is
One end of a spring of force constant k is fixed to a vertical wall and the other to a block of mass m resting on a smooth horizontal surface. There is another wall at a distance ${x_0}$ from the black. The spring is then compressed by $2{x_0}$ and released. The time taken to strike the wall is
A body is executing Simple Harmonic Motion. At a displacement $x$ its potential energy is ${E_1}$ and at a displacement y its potential energy is ${E_2}$. The potential energy $E$ at displacement $(x + y)$ is
Two particles are executing S.H.M. The equation of their motion are ${y_1} = 10\sin \left( {\omega \,t + \frac{{\pi T}}{4}} \right),$ ${y_2} = 25\sin \,\left( {\omega \,t + \frac{{\sqrt 3 \pi T}}{4}} \right)$. What is the ratio of their amplitude
An assembly of identical spring-mass systems is placed on a smooth horizontal surface as shown. Initially the springs are relaxed. The left mass is displaced to the left while the right mass is displaced to the right and released. The resulting collision is elastic. The time period of the oscillations of the system is :-
A body executes $SHM$ under the influence of one force and has a period $T_1\, second$ and the same body executes $SHM$ with period $T_2\, second$ when under the influence of another force. When bothforces act simultaneously and in the same direction, then the time period of the same body is
Two independent harmonic oscillators of equal mass are oscillating about the origin with angular frequencies $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$ and have total energies $E_1$ and $E_2$, respectively. The variations of their momenta $p$ with positions $x$ are shown in the figures. If $\frac{a}{b}= n ^2$ and $\frac{ a }{ R }= n$, then the correct equation$(s)$ is(are) $Image$
${T}_{0}$ is the time period of a simple pendulum at a place. If the length of the pendulum is reduced to $\frac{1}{16}$ times of its initial value, the modified time
