A simple pendulum of length l and having a bob of mass M is suspended ina car. The car is moving on a circular track of radius R with a uniform speed v. If the pendulum makes small oscillations in a radial direction about its equilibrium, what will be its time period ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Centripetal acceleration `a_(c) = (v^(2))/(R)` & Acceleration due to gravity `= g`
So `g_(eff) = sqrt(g^(2) + ((v^(2))/(R))^(2)) rArr "Time period" T = 2pisqrt((L)/(g_(eff))) = 2pisqrt((L)/(sqrt(g^(2)+(v^(4))/(R^(2)))))`
