    The metallic bob of a simple pendulum has the relative densityr. The time period of this pendulum is T. If the metallic bob is immersed in water, then the new time period is given by                                                [SCRA 1998]

    A)            \[T\frac{\rho -1}{\rho }\]

    B)            \[T\frac{\rho }{\rho -1}\]

    C)            \[T\sqrt{\frac{\rho -1}{\rho }}\]                                      

    D)            \[T\sqrt{\frac{\rho }{\rho -1}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                       When the bob is immersed in water its effective weight = \[\left( mg-\frac{m}{\rho }g \right)=mg\,\left( \frac{\rho -1}{\rho } \right)\] \[\therefore {{g}_{eff}}=g\,\left( \frac{\rho -1}{\rho } \right)\]            \[\frac{T'}{T}=\sqrt{\frac{g}{{{g}_{eff}}}}\]\[{{T}_{1}}=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{K}}\]
