As we learnt in

Time period of oscillation of simple pendulum -

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}

- wherein

l = length of pendulum 

g = acceleration due to gravity.

 

 

 

For a pendulum, T= 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}where l  Is measured upto centre of gravity. The centre of gravity of system is at centre of sphere when hole is plugged. When unplugged, water drains out. Centre of gravity goes on descending. When the bob becomes empty, centre of gravity is restored to centre.

\therefore     Length of pendulum first increases, then decreases to original value.

\therefore    T would first increase and then decrease to the original value.

Correct option is 3.


Option 1)

remain unchanged

This is an incorrect option.

Option 2)

increase towards a saturation value

This is an incorrect option.

Option 3)

first increase and then decrease to the original value

This is the correct option.

Option 4)

First decrease and then increase to the original value

This is an incorrect option.
