Question
A simple pendulum is suspended from the ceiling of a lift. When the lift is at rest its time period is T. With what acceleration should the lift be accelerated upwards in order to reduce its period to T2? (g is acceleration due to gravity).

Solution
The correct option is C3g When lift moves in upward direction with an acceleration, pendulum will be acted upon by a pseudo acceleration same to the acceleration of lift. this acceleration will be in downward direction on pendulum.
Now, time period of pendulum,
T∝1√g
If T′ be the period g′ be the acceleration on pendulum when lift is in motion.
