Angular SHM and Simple Pendulum

Question 1: moderate

The period of a simple pendulum, whose bob is a hollow metallic sphere, is T. The period is T1 when the bob is filled with sand, T2 when it is filled with mercury and T3 when it is half filled with mercury. Which of the following is true:

1. T = T1 = T2 > T3
2. T = T1 = T3 > T
3. T > T3 > T1 = T2
4. T = T1 = T2 < T3
View Answer

In Hollow Sphere (T) , Solid Spheres ( T1 and T2) Center of mass lie at center. Where as in Half filled sphere center of mass lie below center(T3).

 As length of pendulum will increase in T3. Time period is highest for it.
