"How would the period of a simple pendulum be affected, if the point of suspension were moving vertically upward with an acceleration of g/2 m/s^2?"
A. Period increases
B. Period decreases
C. Period remains the same
D. Cannot be determined
Based on the equation f = 1/2pi (square root of g/L), g is directly proportional to the frequency, thus inversely proportional to the period.
In their explanation, they say that the effective g is = g + g/2.
When I saw this, I was confused by how they...
