In a non-inertial reference frame, such as the accelerating railroad car, we must account for the fictitious forces acting on the pendulum. Since the car is accelerating to the right with acceleration (a), the pendulum will experience an additional force to the left due to the non-inertial reference frame. This fictitious force (F_{\text{fict}} = -ma) acts horizontally to ___ ____ ________ ______ ______ _____ _______ ____ _____.
