A simple pendulum in a stationary lift has time period T. What would be the effect on the period when the lift (i) moves up with uniform velocity (ii) moves down with uniform velocity (iii) moves up with uniform acceleration 'a' (iv) moves down with uniform acceleration 'a' (v) begins to fall freely under gravity?

(A) : When a lift moves with uniform velocity the man in the lift will feel weightlessness. (R) : In downward motion of a lift, apparent weight of a body in it decreases.

A man in a lift feels an apparent weight W when the lift is moving up with a uniform acceleration of 1/3rd of the acceleration due to gravity. If the same man were in the same lift now moving down with a uniform acceleration that is 1/2 of the acceleration due to gravity, then his apparent weight is

A lift is going up, the total mass of the lift and the passengers is 1500kg. The variation in the speed of lift is shown in fig. Then the tension in the rope at t = 1 s will be:

A simple pendulum is placed inside a lift, which is moving with a uniform acceleration. If the time periods of the pendulum while the lift is moving upwards and downwards are in the ratio 1 : 2, then the acceleration of the lift is (Acceleration due to gravity, g = 10 ms^(-2) )
