b (b)When a little mercury is drained off, the position of c.g. of ball falls (w.r.t. fixed and) so that effective length of pendulum increases hence T increase.

A light balloon filled with helium of density $\rho_{ He }$ is tied to a long light string of length $l$ and the string is attached to the ground. If the balloon is displaced slightly in the horizontal direction from the equilibrium and released. Then,
A particle of mass $m$ is attached to three identical springs $A, B$ and $C$ each of force constant $ k$ a shown in figure. If the particle of mass $m$ is pushed slightly against the spring $A$ and released then the time period of oscillations is
A particle executes $SHM.$ Its velocities are $v_1$and $v_2$ at displacement $x_1$ and $x_2$ from mean position respectively. The frequency of oscillation will be
A hollow sphere is filled with water through a small hole in it. It is then hung by a long thread and made to oscillate. As the water slowly flows out of the hole at the bottom, the period of oscillation will
The mass of a particle is $1\,\,kg$ and it is moving along $x-$ axis. The period of its small oscillation is $\frac {\pi }{2}$ . Its potential energy may be
Two pendulums begins to swing simultaneously. The first pendulum makes $11$ full oscillations when the other makes $9$. The ratio of length of the two pendulums is
$Assertion :$ The time-period of pendulum, on a satellite orbiting the earth is infinity.
$Reason :$ Time-period of a pendulum is inversely proportional to $\sqrt g$
