A-pendulum suspended from the ceiling of a train has a period T when the train is at rest. When the train accelerates with a uniform acceleration a, the period of oscillation will

  • increase

  • decrease

  • remain unaffected

  • become infinite


B.

decrease

T = lg

When train accelerates, the effective value of g changes to g' given by (g') = a2 + g2

Now T' = lg2 + a2

therefore, T' < T
