A small object with mass 0.20 kg swings as a pendulum on the end of a long light rope. For small amplitude of swing, the period of the motion is 3.0 s. If the object is replaced by one with mass 0.400 kg, what is the period for small amplitude of swing? (a) 1.5 s (b) 3.05 (c) 6.0 s (d) 12.0 s (e) none of the above answers

The correct option is (e) "none of the above".

Explanation:

Given that,

A small object with mass 0.20 kg swings as a pendulum on the end of a long light rope. For small amplitude of swing, the period of the motion is 3.0 s.

If the object is replaced by one with mass 0.400 kg, then we have to find the period for small amplitude of the swing.

We know that the time period can be calculated as :

Where

l is the length

g is acceleration due to gravity

It means the time period is independent of the mass. So, if the mass is replaced by one with mass 0.400 kg, there is no effect on the time period.

the answer is false
