Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) first increase and then decrease to the original value.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The time period of the simple pendulum is, T=2πlg Here, l is the effective length of the pendulum up to centre of mass. When the hole at bottom of the hollow sphere (bob) filled with water is unplugged, the water will drain from the bob due to which the centre of…
