Answer the following questions: (a) Time period of particle is S.H.M. depends on the force constant k and mass m of the particle : T=2pisqrt(m//k). A simple pendulum executes S.H.M. approximately. Why then is the time-period of a pendulum independent of the mass of the pendulum? (b) The motino of simple pendulum is approximatley simple harmonic for small angles of oscillation. For large angle of oscillation, a more involved analysis (beyond the scope of this book) shows that T is greater that 2pisqrt(l//g) . Think of a quanlitative argument to appreciate this result.
