    A simple pendulum with a solid metal bob has a period T . What will be the period of the same pendulum if it is made to oscillate in a non - viscous liquid of density one - tenth of the of the metal of the bob ?

    The time period of a simple pendulum oscillating in a freely falling lift is

    Statement-1: The pendulum shown in the figure consists of a bob suspended by a light rigid rod. The pendulum is suspended from the ceilling of a heavy wooden box which hcan freely fall on the guiding wires. Initially the box is at rest and the pendulum is released from the position shown. When the pendulum becomes vertical the box starts falling freely. The pendulum will move with a constant angular speed w.r.t box because Statement-2: The angular acceleration of the pendulum w.r.t. P once the box starts falling freely is zero.
