The period of a simple pendulum measured inside a stationary lift is found to be T. If the lift starts accelerating upwards with acceleration of g/3 then the time period of the pendulum is

$\frac{T}{\sqrt{3}}$

$\frac{T}{3}$

$\sqrt{3} T$

Explanation

For ascending lift with acceleration a,

$T_{2} = 2 π \sqrt{\frac{l}{g + a}} \Rightarrow \frac{T_{1}}{T_{2}} = \sqrt{\frac{g + a}{g}} \Rightarrow \frac{T}{T_{2}} = \sqrt{\frac{g + \frac{g}{3}}{g}} = \sqrt{\frac{4}{3}} \Rightarrow T_{2} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} T$

The time period of a simple pendulum of length L as measured in an elevator descending with acceleration $\frac{g}{3}$ is

$2 π \sqrt{\frac{3 L}{g}}$

$π \sqrt{(\frac{3 L}{g})}$

$2 π \sqrt{(\frac{3 L}{2 g})}$

$2 π \sqrt{\frac{2 L}{3 g}}$

Explanation

(c) The effective acceleration in a lift descending with acceleration $\frac{g}{3} is g_{eff} = g - \frac{g}{3} = \frac{2 g}{3} so, T = 2 π \sqrt{(\frac{L}{g_{eff}})} = 2 π \sqrt{(\frac{L}{2 g / 3})} = 2 π \sqrt{(\frac{3 L}{2 g})}$

A particle with restoring force proportional to displacement and resisting force proportional to velocity is subjected to a force $Fsinωt$ . If the amplitude of the particle is maximum for $ω = ω_{1}$ and the energy of the particle is maximum for $ω = ω_{2}$ , then (where $ω_{0}$ is natural frequency of oscillation of particle)

The displacement of a particle varies with time as $x = 12 \sin w t - 16 \sin^{3} w t$ (in cm). If its motion is S.H.M., then its maximum acceleration is -

$12 ω^{2}$

$36 ω^{2}$

$144 ω^{2}$

$\sqrt{192} ω^{2}$

Explanation

(b) $x = 12 \sin ω t - 16 \sin^{3} ω t$ = $4 [3 \sin ω t - 4 \sin^{3} ω t]$

= $4 [\sin 3 ω t] (b y u \sin g \sin 3 θ = 3 \sin θ - 4 \sin^{3} θ)$
