Evaluate simple harmonic motion
A simple pendulum is 2.00 m long.
(a) What is the period of simple harmonic motion for this pendulum if it is hanging in an elevator accelerating upward at 2.00m/s2?
(b) What is its period if the elevator is accelerating downward at2.00 m/s2?
(c) What is the period of simple harmonic motion for the pendulum if it is placed in a truck that is accelerating horizontally at2.00 m/s2?
