MCQ
A simple pendulum executing S.H.M. is falling freely along with the support. Then
- AIts periodic time decreases
- BIts periodic time increases
- ✓It does not oscillate at all
- DNone of these
✓
Answer
Correct option: C.
It does not oscillate at all
(c) $T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}$; for freely falling system effective $g=0$ so $T=\infty$ or $n=0$
