Given:
A spring pendulum oscillates in a vertical plane such that the time period of the oscillation is T. if the whole setup is hung from ceiling of an elevator moving up with an acceleration g/2.
To find:
New time period of oscillation ?
Calculation:
The general expression of time period of a spring is :
This expression doesn't depend on gravitational acceleration, hence independent of 'g'.
