A man measures time period of a pendulum $(T)$ in stationary lift. If the lift moves upward with acceleration $\frac{g}{4},$ then new time period will be

A

$\frac{{2T}}{{\sqrt 5 }}$

B

$\frac{{\sqrt 5 T}}{2}$

C

$\frac{{\sqrt 5 }}{{2T}}$

D

$\frac{2}{{\sqrt 5 T}}$

A man measures time period of a pendulum $(T)$ in stationary lift. If the lift moves upward with acceleration $\frac{g}{4},$ then new time period will be

$T = 2\pi \sqrt {\frac{l}{g}} $ $⇒$ $\frac{{T'}}{T} = \sqrt {\frac{g}{{g'}}} = \sqrt {\frac{g}{{g + \frac{g}{4}}}} = \sqrt {\frac{4}{5}} = \frac{2}{{\sqrt 5 }}$
