[Phys-L] What is the effect of acceleration of a pendulum's support?



I have not prob. w/ vertical acceleration, i.e. it changes the amplitude and period according to an adiabatic invariance*** if g/f << 1.


But, does an X or Y*** acceleration just displace the equilibrium position?

** E/f is constant.
***Z is "up".
