MCQ
A pendulum suspended from the ceiling of a train oscillates with a time period $2\,second$, when the train is accelerating at $10\,ms^{-2}$. What will be its time period when the train retards at $10\,ms^{-2}$ ? ..... $\sec$
  • $2$
  • B
    $2\sqrt 2$
  • C
    $\left( {2\sqrt 2 } \right)$
  • D
    None of the above

Answer

Correct option: A.
$2$
a
Resultant acceleration remains unchanged so time period remains unchanged.
