Answer the following questions:
What is the frequency of oscillation of a simple pendulum mounted in a cabin that is freely falling under gravity?

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.
