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

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

$A$ light balloon filled with helium of density $\rho_{He}$ is tied to a light string of length $L.$ The string is tied to the ground forming an "inverted" simple pendulum (figure). If the balloon is displaced slightly from equilibrium as in figure and released, the period of the motion is. Take the density of air to be $\rho_{air}$. Assume the air applies a buoyant force on the balloon but does not otherwise affect its motion.

Savitha, a $XI$ standard student, while conducting an experiment to determine the effective length of a simple pendulum $L$, notes down the data of time taken to complete $30$ oscillations as $60 \text{ s}$ and hence calculates the length of the simple pendulum as: (Take $\pi^2 = 9.8$, and $g = 9.8 \text{ m/s}^2$) (in $\text{ m}$)
