A bob suspended from the ceiling of a car which is accelerating on a horizontal road. The bob stays t rest with respect to the car when the string is making an angle `theta` with the vertical.The linear momentum of the bob as seen from the road is increasing with momentum? If not, where is the external force which changes the linear momentum?

A plumb bob is hung from the ceiling of a train compartment. If the train moves with an acceleration a along a straight horizontal track, the string supporting the bob makes an angle tan^1 (a/g) with the normal to the ceiling. Suppose the train moves on an inclined straight track with uniform velocity, if the angle of incline is tan^-1(a/g) , the string again makes the same angle with the normal to the ceiling. Can a person sitting inside the compartment tell by looking at the plumb line whether the train is accelerated on a horizontal straight track or it is going on an incline? If yes, how? If no, suggest a method to do so.
