Triple the mass of the bob on a simple pendulum will cause a change in the frequency of the pendulum swing by what factor? A)1/3 B)1 C)3² D)3 E)1/3²

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The frequency of a simple pendulum is determined by the formula $f = \frac{1}{2\pi} \sqrt{\frac{g}{L}}$, where $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity and $L$ is the length of the pendulum. This formula shows that the frequency is independent of the mass of the bob.
