(c) When lift is at rest, $T = 2\pi \sqrt {l/g} $

If acceleration becomes $g/4$ then

$T' = 2\pi \sqrt {\frac{l}{{g/4}}} = 2\pi \sqrt {\frac{{4l}}{g}} = 2 \times T$

    A particle of mass $m$ is attached to one end of a mass-less spring of force constant $k$, lying on a frictionless horizontal plane. The other end of the spring is fixed. The particle starts moving horizontally from its equilibrium position at time $t=0$ with an initial velocity $u_0$. When the speed of the particle is $0.5 u_0$, it collies elastically with a rigid wall. After this collision :

    $(A)$ the speed of the particle when it returns to its equilibrium position is $u_0$.

    $(B)$ the time at which the particle passes through the equilibrium position for the first time is $t=\pi \sqrt{\frac{ m }{ k }}$.

    $(C)$ the time at which the maximum compression of the spring occurs is $t =\frac{4 \pi}{3} \sqrt{\frac{ m }{ k }}$.

    $(D)$ the time at which the particle passes througout the equilibrium position for the second time is $t=\frac{5 \pi}{3} \sqrt{\frac{ m }{ k }}$.
