A simple pendulum 50 cm long is suspended from the roof of a cart accelerating in the horizontal direction with constant acceleration √3g m / s² .The period of small oscillations of the pendulum about its equilibrium position is (g = π² m/s²): Image related to
1.0 sec
1.25 sec
1.53 sec
1.68 sec

Solution:

\[ T = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{l}{\sqrt{a^{2}+g^{2}}}} \]

\[ T = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{0.5}{\sqrt{\left( \sqrt{3}g \right)^{2}+g^{2}}}} \]

\[ T = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{0.5}{2g}} \]

\[ T = 2\pi\frac{1}{2\sqrt{g}} = 2\pi\frac{1}{2\pi}= 1 sec \]
