The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the behavior of a simple pendulum made of a hollow sphere filled with water, focusing on the two statements provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Setup**: - We have a hollow sphere acting as a pendulum, which has a small hole at the bottom. - When the pendulum is filled with water, the water can escape through the hole, affecting the pendulum's motion. 2. **Identifying the Effective Length**: - The effective length \( L \) of the pendulum is defined as the distance from the pivot point to the center of mass (COM) of the system. - Initially, when the sphere is full of water, the center of mass will be at a certain height. 3. **Effect of Water Level on Length**: - As the water drains out, the center of mass of the pendulum will shift downward. - Initially, as the water level decreases, the effective length \( L \) increases because the center of mass moves downwards, which increases the distance from the pivot to the COM. 4. **Time Period Relation**: - The time period \( T \) of a simple pendulum is given by the formula: \[ T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}} \] - Since \( T \) is directly proportional to the square root of the effective length \( L \), if \( L \) increases, \( T \) will also increase. 5. **Behavior of the Time Period**: - As water continues to drain, there will be a point where the water level is half full. Beyond this point, as more water drains, the effective length \( L \) will start to decrease because the center of mass will rise. - Consequently, the time period \( T \) will first increase (as \( L \) increases) and then decrease (as \( L \) decreases). 6. **Conclusion on Statements**: - **Statement 1**: The time period of the pendulum will first increase up to a certain maximum value and then decrease to return to its initial minimum value. This statement is true. - **Statement 2**: The effective length of oscillation of a simple pendulum first increases and then decreases to return to its initial minimum value. This statement is also true. ### Final Answer: Both statements are true.
