Q. A pendulum is suspended from the ceiling of the compartment of train. When the train is stationary, the time period of the pendulum is $T$. If the train accelerates, the time period of the pendulum will

Oscillations

Solution:

The pendulum comes under two accelerations (g and a) in mutually perpendicular directions. Hence resultant accelerations increases, because of which T decreases
