Question

The period of oscillation of a simple pendulum is directly proportional to the mass of the job.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Explanation:

1. The time taken by a pendulum to complete one oscillation is called the time period.
2. The time period of a simple pendulum is given as, $T=2\mathrm{\pi }\sqrt{\frac{\mathit{l}}{\mathit{g}}}$ ,where $l$ the s length of the pendulum, and $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity.
3. Therefore, the time period depends upon the length of the pendulum and acceleration due to gravity.
4. Time period of a pendulum does not depend upon mass.

Hence, the given statement is false.
