A sealed spherical ball half filled with a volatile liquid is used as the bob of a pendulum executing simple harmonic motion with period T1T_1. The bob is heated slightly so that the liquid evaporates completely and the period is now found to be T2T_2. Which one of the following is true?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
T2<T1T_2 < T_1
Option C (T2<T1T_2 < T_1) is correct because when the liquid evaporates, the center of mass shifts closer to the pivot point, effectively shortening the pendulum's length and thus decreasing the period.
