1. An elevator is accelerating upward with a constant acceleration of g/5 (g is the gravitational acceleration). A simple pendulum of length l is suspended from the ceiling of the elevator. What is the period T of the pendulum for small oscillations? (A)(B) (C) (D) (E)

4. A pendulum is formed by pivoting a long thin rod of length L and mass M about a point on the rod. Apparently, the period (T) of this pendulum (for small oscillations) depends on the position of the pivot. Suppose the pivot is at a distance d from the center of the rod. What d would give a minimum T? (The moment of inertia of a thin rod about its center is ML²/12) (A) L/√6 (B) L/6 (C) L/√12 (D) L/12 (E) None of the above.
