Question

The bob of an oscillating pendulum is made of ice. How will the time period change if the ice starts

melting? [2]​

Answer 1

Answer:

If the ice starts melting, then the time period will not change. This is because the distance between the point of suspension and center of the bob does not change.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

The time period of the simple pendulum will decrease.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because time period is directly proportional to the effective length of the pendulum and the Effective length is decreasing because the radius of the ice starts decreasing as it melts.

Effective length = radius of the bob + length of the string
