Type: MCQ-conceptual-Easy-Class 11
What is the effect on the time period of a simple pendulum if the mass of the bob is doubled?
A
Halved
B
Doubled
C
Becomes 8 times
D
No effect
Correct Answer
Option D
Detailed Explanation
The time period of a simple pendulum is given by T = 2π√(L/g), which is independent of the mass of the bob. Therefore, doubling the mass of the bob has no effect on the time period.
