How is the period of a pendulum affected when its point of suspension is
(a) moved vertically upwards with acceleration a.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

When the point of suspension of pendulum is moved vertically upward with acceleration a, g is replaced by (g + a). Hence its period T decreases.
