Question

Two simple pendulum A and B have equal lengths, but heir bobs weigh 50 gf and 100 gf respectively. What would be the ratio of their time periods? Give reason for your answer.

KnowledgeBoat · Accepted Answer

As we know that, where, T = Time period l = effective length of the pendulum g = acceleration due to gravity. So we see that, time period does not depend on the weight of the bob. As, lengths are equal so, T₁ : T₂ = 1 : 1
