A simple pendulum is made of bob which is a hollow sphere full of sand suspended by means of a wire. If all the sand is drained out, the period of the pendulum will

A simple pendulum has a bob which is a hollow sphere full of sand and oscillated with certain period. If all that sand is drained out through a hole at its bottom, then its period (a) increases (b) decreases ( c) remains same (d) is zero.

A simple pendulum is made of a hollow sphere having a small hole in the bottom. The pendulum is made to vibrate after filling it with water. STATEMENT -1 : Time period of pendulum will first increase upto certain maximum value and then decrease are return to its initial minimum value. and STATEMENT-2 : The effective length of osciallation of a simple pendulum first increases andthen decreases toreturn to its initial minimum value

A simple pendulum consists of a small sphere of mass m suspended by a thread of length l . the sphere carries a positive charge q . The pendulum is placed in a uniform electric field of strength E directed vertically upwards. With what period will the pendulum oscillate if the electrostatic force acting on the sphere is less than the gravitational force?

The length of a simple pendulum is 16 cm . It is suspended by the roof of a lift which is moving upwards with an accleration of 6.2 ms^(-2) . Find the time period of pendulum.

A simple pendulum is suspended from the ceiling a car accelerating uniformly on a horizontal road. If the acceleration is a_0 and the length of the pendulum is l, find the time period of small oscillations about the mean position.

STATEMENT-1 : Time period of a simple pendulum changes when the solid bob is replaced by a hollow sphere of same radius but difference mass and STATEMENT-2 : The time period of a simple pendulum depends on force acting on bob per unit mass dueto the earth.

A hollow sphere filled with water is used as the bob of a pendulum. Assume that the equation for simple pendulum is valid with the distance between the point of suspension and centre of mass of the bob acting as the effective length of the pendulum. If water slowly leaks out of the bob, how will the time period vary?
