The period of a simple pendulum, whose bob is a hollow metallic sphere, is $T$.The period is $T_1$ when the bob is filled with sand, $T_2$ when it is filled with mercury and $T_3$ when it is half filled with mercury. Which of the following is true
A$T = T_1 = T_2 > T_3$
B$T_1 = T_1 = T_3 > T$
C$T > T_3 > T_1 = T_2$
D$T = T_1 = T_2 < T_3$

D$T = T_1 = T_2 < T_3$
d (d) Time period of pendulum doesn’t depends upon mass but it depends upon length (distance between point of suspension and centre of mass).
In first three cases length are same so $T = {T_1} = {T_2}$ but in last case centre of mass lowers which in turn increases the length. So in this case time period will be more than the other cases.

There is a simple pendulum hanging from the ceiling of a lift. When the lift is stand still, the time period of the pendulum is $T$. If the resultant acceleration becomes $g/4,$ then the new time period of the pendulum is
A particle executes $SHM$ on a straight line path. The amplitude of oscillation is $2\, cm.$ When the displacement of the particle from the mean position is $1\, cm,$ the numerical value of magnitude of acceleration is equal to the numerical value of magnitude of velocity. The frequency of $SHM$ (in $second^{-1}$) is :
A particle starts with $S.H.M.$ from the mean position as shown in the figure. Its amplitude is $A$ and its time period is $T$. At one time, its speed is half that of the maximum speed. What is this displacement?
Two identical springs have the same force constant $73.5 \,Nm ^{-1}$. The elongation produced in each spring in three cases shown in Figure-$1$, Figure-$2$ and Figure-$3$ are $\left(g=9.8 \,ms ^{-2}\right)$
If $< E >$ and $< U >$ denote the average kinetic and the average potential energies respectively of mass describing a simple harmonic motion, over one period, then the correct relation is
Four massless springs whose force constants are $2k, 2k, k$ and $2k$ respectively are attached to a mass $M$ kept on a frictionless plane (as shown in figure). If the mass $M$ is displaced in the horizontal direction, then the frequency of oscillation of the system is
One end of a spring of force constant k is fixed to a vertical wall and the other to a block of mass m resting on a smooth horizontal surface. There is another wall at a distance ${x_0}$ from the black. The spring is then compressed by $2{x_0}$ and released. The time taken to strike the wall is
A circular arc of mass $m$ is connected with the help of two massless strings as shown in the figuw in vertical plane. About point $P$, small oscillations are given in the plane of the arc. Time period of the oscillations of $SHM$ will be
