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?

The time period of a simple pendulum is $T$. The angular amplitude is $\beta$. How much time will the bob of the pendulum take to move from the equilibrium position $O$ to position $A$,where the string makes an angle $\alpha$ with the vertical?

$A$ second's pendulum is placed in a space laboratory orbiting around the earth at a height $3R$,where $R$ is the radius of the earth. The time period of the pendulum is

The graph between the time period $(T)$ and the length $(l)$ of a simple pendulum is

$A$ 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 $g = 10\,m/s^2$)
