When lift is stationary

$T =2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{ L }{ g }}$

When lift is moving upwards $\Rightarrow$ Pseudo force acts downwards

$\Rightarrow g _{ eff }= g +\frac{ g }{2}=\frac{3 g }{2}$

$\Rightarrow$ New time period

$T ^{4}=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{ L }{ g _{ eff }}}=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{2 L }{3 g }}$

$T ^{\prime}=\sqrt{\frac{2}{3}} T$
