Question
Which of the following do not affect the time period of a simple pendulum?
- mass of bob
- size of bob
- effective length of pendulum
- acceleration due to gravity
- amplitude.
Solution
a. Mass of the bob, and b. Size of the bob does not affect the time period of a pendulum. Also time period of the pendulum is independent of the amplitude provided this is not too great.
