The time period of a simple pendulum inside a stationary lift is $T$. When the lift starts accelerating upwards with an acceleration of $\frac{g}{3}$,the time period of the pendulum will be

  • A
    $\frac{\sqrt{5}}{2} T$
  • B
    $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} T$
  • C
    $\frac{2 T}{\sqrt{3}}$
  • D
    $\frac{2 T}{\sqrt{5}}$

$A$ simple pendulum of length $l_1$ has time period $T_1$. Another simple pendulum of length $l_2$ $(l_1 > l_2)$ has time period $T_2$. Then the time period of the pendulum of length $(l_1 - l_2)$ will be

''Motion of a simple pendulum from the mean position for small displacement is a simple harmonic motion'' - Explain this statement.

The bob of a simple pendulum having length $l$ is displaced from the mean position to an angular position $\theta$ with respect to the vertical. If it is released,then the velocity of the bob at the equilibrium position is:

The acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the moon is $1.7 \; m s^{-2}$. What is the time period of a simple pendulum on the surface of the moon if its time period (in $s$) on the surface of the earth is $3.5 \; s$? ($g$ on the surface of the earth is $9.8 \; m s^{-2}$)

Two simple pendulums of length $1\, m$ and $4\, m$ respectively are both given small displacement in the same direction at the same instant. They will be again in phase after the shorter pendulum has completed a number of oscillations equal to
