The period of oscillation of a simple pendulum of length $L$ suspended from the roof of a vehicle which moves without friction down an inclined plane of inclination $\alpha$, is given by
A$2\pi \sqrt {\frac{L}{{g\cos \alpha }}} $
B$2\pi \sqrt {\frac{L}{{g\sin \alpha }}} $
C$2\pi \sqrt {\frac{L}{g}} $
D$2\pi \sqrt {\frac{L}{{g\tan \alpha }}} $

A$2\pi \sqrt {\frac{L}{{g\cos \alpha }}} $
a (a) See the following force diagram. Vehicle is moving down the frictionless inclined surface so, it's acceleration is $g\sin \theta $. Since vehicle is accelerating, a pseudo force $m(g\sin \theta )$ will act on bob of pendulum which cancel the $\sin \theta $ component of weight of the bob.
Hence net force on the bob is $F_{net} = mg\cos \theta $ or net acceleration of the bob is ${g_{eff}} = g\cos \theta $
$\therefore $ Time period $T = 2\pi \sqrt {\frac{l}{{{g_{eff}}}}} = 2\pi \sqrt {\frac{l}{{g\cos \theta }}} $

A mass $M$ is suspended by two springs of force constants $K_1$ and $K_2$ respectively as shown in the diagram. The total elongation (stretch) of the two springs is
The displacement of simple harmonic oscillator after $3$ seconds starting from its mean position is equal to half of its amplitude. The time period of harmonic motion is $\dots \; s$
A uniform rod of length $L$ and mass $M$ is pivoted at the centre. Its two ends are attached to two springs of equal spring constants $k$. The springs are fixed to rigid supports as shown in the figure, and the rod is free to oscillate in the horizontal plane. The rod is gently pushed through a small angle $\theta$ in one direction and released. The frequency of oscillation is
