To find the angle made by the string of a pendulum with the vertical when the pendulum is hanging from the ceiling of a car that is accelerating with respect to the road, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Forces Acting on the Pendulum Bob The forces acting on the pendulum bob of mass \( m \) are: - The gravitational force \( \vec{F_g} = mg \) acting downward. - The tension \( \vec{T} \) in the string acting along the string. - A pseudo force \( \vec{F_p} = ma_0 \) acting horizontally in the opposite direction of the car's acceleration \( a_0 \). ...
