Take a hollow palstic ball(dia 3cm to 5cm). Using a needle pass a thread of about 105cm along a diameter of the ball. Tie a knot at one end. Hang the ball from a rigid support so that the ball is free to ossicillate. Make a small hole (5mm dia) in the ball near the top. Fill it with sand and find its time period of oscillation. Empty the ball and fill it with steel balls/iron filings and repeat the experiment. Simillarly carry out the experiment with common salt. Compare the time periods obtained in the above three cases.

As a result of the manipulation we have a physical pendulum. We assume that
the thread is weightless. So, the period of oscillation Time period will be
2π√(l÷mlg)
where
m
is the mass of the ball with filling (mass of the plastic shell of the ball
is much smaller than the mass of the filling); L is the distance from the point of suspension to the center of mass;
2 2 2
5
J mr mL
is the moment of inertia of the ball
relative to the point of suspension (we use parallel axis theorem);
2
g m s 9.81 /
is the
gravitational acceleration
As it was shown above the oscillation period is independent of the filling ball
and it is 1.42s.
