(a) What is the period of simple harmonic motion for this pendulum if it is located in an elevator accelerating upward at \( 6.35 \) \( \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2} \) ? (b) What is its period if the elevator is accelerating downward at \( 6.35 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{2} \) ? Your response differs from the correct answer by more than 10\%. Double check your calculations. s (c) What is the period of simple harmonic motion for the pendulum if it is placed in a truck that is accelerating horizontally at \( 6.35 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{2} ? \) Your response is within \( 10 \% \) of the correct value. This may be due to roundoff error, or you could have a mistake in your calculation. Carry out all intermediate results to at least four-digit accuracy to minimize roundoff error. s
