A truck is stationary and has a bob suspended by a light string in a frame attached to the truck. The truck suddenly moves to the right with an acceleration of \(a.\) In the frame of the truck, the pendulum will tilt:

A simple pendulum is set up in a trolley which moves to the right with an acceleration a on a horizontal plane. Then the thread of the pendulum in the mean position makes an angle $\mathrm{\theta }$ with the vertical

(1) ${\tan }^{-1}\left(\frac{\mathrm{a}}{\mathrm{g}}\right)$ in the forward direction

(2) ${\tan }^{-1}\left(\frac{\mathrm{a}}{\mathrm{g}}\right)$ in the upward direction 

(3) ${\tan }^{-1}\left(\frac{\mathrm{a}}{\mathrm{g}}\right)$ in the backward direction

(4) ${\tan }^{-1}\left(\frac{g}{a}\right)$ in the forward directions
