Question

If the mass of the bob of a simple pendulum increases its time period will -

• A. increases
• B. decrease
• C. remain unaffected
• D. neither of these

Answer 1

The correct option is C remain unaffected

If mass of bob of simple pendulum increase its time period will unaffected. As time period only depends only depends upon length of pendulum and acceleration due to gravity at that position.

$T=\sqrt[2\pi ]{2\pi \frac{l}{g}}$

$T$ = time period

$l$= length of pendulum

$g$= Acceleration at the position of simple pendulum.
