MCQ
A spring-mass system oscillates with a frequency v. If it is taken in an elevator slowly accelerating upward, the frequency will:
- AIncrease.
- BDecrease.
- ✓Remain same.
- DBecome zero.
✓
Answer
Correct option: C.
Remain same.
Because the frequency $\Big(\text{v}-\frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{\text{k}}{\text{m}}}\Big)$ of the system is independent of the acceleration of the system.
