1. A pendulum bob (the mass) is made from a sphere (ball) filled with water. What would happen to the frequency of vibration of this pendulum if there were a hole in the sphere that allowed the water to leak out slowly? [2.5 points]

Nothing. The mass of the bob changes as the water leaks out, but the frequency of the pendulum does not depend on the mass.
