Step 1
Step 1: The period of a simple pendulum is given by the formula: $$T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g_{eff}}}$$ where $T$ is the period, $L$ is the length of the pendulum, and $g_{eff}$ is the effective acceleration due to gravity. Show more…

A pendulum of length $L$ is suspended from the ceiling of an elevator. When the clevator is at rest, the period of the pendulum is $T$. Does the period increase, decrease, or remain the same when the elevator (a) moves upward with constant speed or (b) moves upward with constant acceleration?
A mass $m$ is suspended from the ceiling of an elevator by a spring of force constant $k$. When the clevator is at rest, the period of the mass is $T$. Does the period increase, decrease, or remain the same when the elevator (a) moves upward with constant speed or (b) moves upward with constant acceleration?
