Question

A simple pendulum consisting of a bob of mass m attached to a string of length L swings with a period T on Earth. Calculate the new period of oscillation in terms of T1. on Earth, if the mass of the bob is reduced by half.A.2TB.T2C.TD.√2T

Answer 1

T = T

Step-by-step explanation:

Time period of a simple pendulum is not affected by the mass of the bob. As we know,
`T = 2\pi √(L/g)` . There is no factor of mass affecting when we derived the equation. The basic reason behind the time period is not affected is because of mass dependence on angular acceleration. As the mass increases the acceleration increase and the Time Period remains constant.
