The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze both statements regarding the time period of a simple pendulum. ### 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: \[ T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}} \] where \( L \) is the length of the pendulum and \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity. Importantly, the formula shows that the time period does not depend on the mass of the bob. 2. **Analyzing Statement 1**: - Statement 1 claims that the time period remains unchanged if a solid bob is replaced by a hollow bob of the same radius but lesser mass. - Since the radius (and thus the effective length \( L \)) remains the same and the acceleration due to gravity \( g \) does not change, the time period \( T \) will remain the same regardless of whether the bob is solid or hollow. - Therefore, **Statement 1 is true**. 3. **Analyzing Statement 2**: - Statement 2 claims that the time period of a simple pendulum depends on the mass but does not depend on the density. - However, as established earlier, the time period of a simple pendulum does not depend on the mass of the bob at all. It only depends on the length of the pendulum and the acceleration due to gravity. - Therefore, **Statement 2 is false**. 4. **Conclusion**: - Since Statement 1 is true and Statement 2 is false, the correct answer is that Statement 1 is true and Statement 2 is false. ### Final Answer: The correct option is **Option 3: Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is false**.
