What is second's pendulum ? Find the length of second's pendulum for `g = 9.8 m//s^(2)` ? Also write expressions for the time period if the second's pendulum is an a carriage which is accelerating (a) upwards (b) downwards (c ) horizontally. Also, fin the value of time period of it if is made to oscillate a freely falling lift.
