The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the ratio of the squares of the time periods \( T_1 \) and \( T_2 \) of a simple pendulum when the point of suspension is moved upward with a specific acceleration. Let's break down the solution step by step. ### Step 1: Understand the Time Period of a Simple Pendulum The time period of a simple pendulum is given by the formula: \[ T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}} \] where \( L \) is the length of the pendulum and \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity. ### Step 2: Determine the Acceleration The point of suspension is moved upward according to the relation: \[ y = kt^2 \] where \( k = 1 \, \text{m/s}^2 \). The acceleration \( a \) is the second derivative of displacement with respect to time: \[ a = \frac{d^2y}{dt^2} = \frac{d^2(kt^2)}{dt^2} = 2k = 2 \times 1 = 2 \, \text{m/s}^2 \] ### Step 3: Modify the Time Period Formula for \( T_2 \) When the point of suspension is moving upward with an acceleration \( a \), the effective acceleration acting on the pendulum becomes \( g - a \). Therefore, the new time period \( T_2 \) is given by: \[ T_2 = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g - a}} \] ### Step 4: Write the Time Periods in Terms of \( L \) and \( g \) Now we have: \[ T_1 = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}} \] \[ T_2 = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g - 2}} \] ### Step 5: Find the Ratio of the Time Periods Now we need to find the ratio \( \left(\frac{T_1}{T_2}\right)^2 \): \[ \frac{T_1}{T_2} = \frac{2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}}{2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g - 2}}} = \frac{\sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}}{\sqrt{\frac{L}{g - 2}}} \] This simplifies to: \[ \frac{T_1}{T_2} = \sqrt{\frac{g - 2}{g}} \] Squaring both sides gives: \[ \left(\frac{T_1}{T_2}\right)^2 = \frac{g - 2}{g} \] ### Step 6: Substitute the Value of \( g \) Given \( g = 10 \, \text{m/s}^2 \): \[ \left(\frac{T_1}{T_2}\right)^2 = \frac{10 - 2}{10} = \frac{8}{10} = \frac{4}{5} \] ### Final Answer Thus, the ratio \( \left(\frac{T_1}{T_2}\right)^2 \) is: \[ \frac{4}{5} \]
