Question

A simple pendulum of frequency n is taken up to a certain height above the ground and then dropped along with its support so that it falls freely under gravity. The frequency of oscillations of the falling pendulum will

Solution

Correct option is

Become zero

 

The frequency of a pendulum is given by

                        

Where g is the acceleration due to gravity. A pendulum falling freely is weightless, i.e., the effective gravity is zero. Therefore, its frequency becomes zero and it stops oscillating.
