Suppose the bob of a simple pendulum is made up of ice. What will happen to the time period if the ice starts melting?

Explanation

To analyze the effect of melting ice on the time period of a simple pendulum with an ice bob, we can follow these steps:

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Understanding the Time Period of a Simple Pendulum**:
The time period \( T \) of a simple pendulum is given by the formula:
\[
T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L_{\text{effective}}}{g}}
