Question
If the simple pendulum (including the base) start falling freely, then what will be the period of oscillation? Give positive reason.

Answer

If the simple pendulum starts falling freely then g = 0 will be done.
If the value of time period :
$T =2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}$
G is kept at zero then the period of the simple pendulum will become infinite due to which it will not oscillate.
