Answer the following questions:
What is the frequency of oscillation of a simple pendulum mounted in a cabin that is freely falling under gravity?
Advertisements
उत्तर १
When a simple pendulum mounted in a cabin falls freely under gravity, its acceleration is zero. Hence the frequency of oscillation of this simple pendulum is zero.
उत्तर २
During free fall of the cabin, the acceleration due to gravity is zero. Therefore, the frequency of oscillations is also zero i.e., the pendulum will not vibrate at all.

A mass attached to a spring is free to oscillate, with angular velocity ω, in a horizontal plane without friction or damping.
