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?

$A$ $metre$ scale is suspended vertically from a horizontal axis passing through one end of it. Its time period would be ....... $\sec$

What is the length of a simple pendulum,which ticks seconds (in $m$)?

$A$ small sphere oscillates simple harmonically in a watch glass whose radius of curvature is $1.6 \ m$. The period of oscillation of the sphere is (acceleration due to gravity $g = 10 \ m/s^2$) (in $\pi \ s$)

If the length of the oscillating simple pendulum is made $\frac{1}{3}$ times the original, keeping the amplitude the same, then the increase in its total energy at a place will be: (in $times$)
