Hence, the time period T, of a simple pendulum is independent of the
mass of the bob.
In the case of a simple pendulum, the restoring force acting on the bob
of the pendulum is given as:
F = mg sin
Where,
F = Restoring force
m = Mass of the bob
g = Acceleration due to gravity
= Angle of displacement
For small , sin

(b)

For large , sin is greater than .

This decreases the effective value of g.
Hence, the time period increases as:

Where, l is the length of the simple pendulum

The time shown by the wristwatch of a man falling from the top of a
tower is not affected by the fall. Since a wristwatch does not work on
the principle of a simple pendulum, it is not affected by the acceleration
due to gravity during free fall. Its working depends on spring action.
When a simple pendulum mounted in a cabin falls freely under gravity,
its acceleration is zero. Hence the frequency of oscillation of this simple
pendulum is zero.

Mass of the ball = m
The pressure inside the chamber is equal to the atmospheric pressure.
Let the ball be depressed by x units. As a result of this depression, there would
be a decrease in the volume and an increase in the pressure inside the chamber.
Decrease in the volume of the air chamber, V = ax

Bulk Modulus of air,

In this case, stress is the increase in pressure. The negative sign indicates that
pressure increases with a decrease in volume.

The restoring force acting on the ball,

F=pa

In simple harmonic motion, the equation for restoring force is:

F = kx (ii)

Where, k is the spring constant

Comparing equations (i) and (ii), we get:
