According to the question, we draw the following situation
As, the point of suspension is moving upward according to the relation y=λt2dtdy=2λt Further, dt2d2y=2λ= upward acceleration a Here, 2λ is the acceleration of point of suspension. The bob experiences a downward reaction force. Hence, the new time period T′=2πg+aL .......(i) Whereas the time period of simple pendulum, T=2πgL ......(ii) By comparing Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get T′<T Hence, the new time period is less than T.
