A simple pendulum is mounted inside a spacecraft. What should be its time period of vibration?

Solution

In a spacecraft orbiting around the Earth, the weight of any object is zero (the acceleration due to the gravity is zero), considering the absence of any kind of artificial gravity present in the system. Hence, it won't vibrate at all.
