The correct Answer is:
To analyze the statements provided in the question, we will evaluate each statement step by step. ### Step 1: Understanding Statement 1 Statement 1 claims that the time period of a simple pendulum changes when a solid bob is replaced by a hollow sphere of the same radius but different mass. **Analysis**: 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. **Key Point**: The formula shows that the time period \( T \) depends only on the length \( L \) and the acceleration due to gravity \( g \). It does not depend on the mass of the bob. Therefore, replacing a solid bob with a hollow sphere of the same radius (but different mass) does not change the time period. ### Conclusion for Statement 1: **Statement 1 is false**. ### Step 2: Understanding Statement 2 Statement 2 states that the time period of a simple pendulum depends on the force acting on the bob per unit mass due to the Earth. **Analysis**: The force acting on the bob due to gravity is given by \( F = mg \), where \( m \) is the mass of the bob and \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity. The force per unit mass is: \[ \frac{F}{m} = g \] Since the time period formula \( T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}} \) includes \( g \), it indicates that the time period does indeed depend on the gravitational force acting on the bob per unit mass. ### Conclusion for Statement 2: **Statement 2 is true**. ### Final Conclusion: - **Statement 1**: False - **Statement 2**: True ### Summary: The correct option is that Statement 1 is false and Statement 2 is true. ---
