The time period of a simple pendulum when it is made to oscillate on the surface of the moon:

$A$ cylindrical plastic bottle of negligible mass is filled with $310\, ml$ of water and left floating in a pond with still water. If pressed downward slightly and released,it starts performing simple harmonic motion at angular frequency $\omega$. If the radius of the bottle is $2.5\, cm$,then $\omega$ is close to ..... $rad\, s^{-1}$ (density of water $= 10^3\, kg/m^3$).

$A$ pendulum is suspended by a string of length $250\,cm$. The mass of the bob of the pendulum is $200\,g$. The bob is pulled aside until the string is at $60^{\circ}$ with the vertical,as shown in the figure. After releasing the bob,the maximum velocity attained by the bob will be . . . . . . $m/s$. (if $g = 10\,m/s^2$)

$A$ simple pendulum is suspended in a lift which is going up with an acceleration $5 \ m/s^2$. An electric field of magnitude $5 \ N/C$ and directed vertically upward is also present in the lift. The charge of the bob is $1 \ mC$ and mass is $1 \ mg$. Taking $g = \pi^2 \ m/s^2$ and length of the simple pendulum $1 \ m$,the time period of the simple pendulum is ...... $s$.

$A$ brass cube of side $a$ and density $\rho$ is floating in mercury of density $\sigma$. If the cube is displaced a bit vertically,it executes $S.H.M.$ Its time period will be

Answer the following questions:
$(a)$ The time period of a particle in $SHM$ depends on the force constant $k$ and mass $m$ of the particle: $T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}$. $A$ simple pendulum executes $SHM$ approximately. Why then is the time period of a pendulum independent of the mass of the pendulum?
$(b)$ The motion of a simple pendulum is approximately simple harmonic for small angle oscillations. For larger angles of oscillation,a more involved analysis shows that $T$ is greater than $2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}$. Think of a qualitative argument to appreciate this result.
$(c)$ $A$ man with a wristwatch on his hand falls from the top of a tower. Does the watch give correct time during the free fall?
$(d)$ What is the frequency of oscillation of a simple pendulum mounted in a cabin that is freely falling under gravity?
