$A$ simple pendulum has a time period $T_1$. The point of suspension is now moved upward according to the equation $y = kt^2$,where $k = 1\,m/s^2$. If the new time period is $T_2$,then the ratio $\frac{T_1^2}{T_2^2}$ will be:

The period of a simple pendulum,whose bob is a hollow metallic sphere,is $T$. The period is $T_1$ when the bob is filled with sand,$T_2$ when it is filled with mercury and $T_3$ when it is half filled with mercury. Which of the following is true?

Two masses,both equal to $100\, g$,are suspended at the ends of identical light strings of length $\ell = 1.0\, m$,attached to the same point on the ceiling (see figure). At time $t = 0$,they are simultaneously released from rest,one at angle $\theta_1 = 1^o$,the other at angle $\theta_2 = 2^o$ from the vertical. The masses will collide
