It doesn't. Period depends on the length of the pendulum and the acceleration of gravity. Adding weight doesn't change the period at all.

What factor has the greatest effect on the period of a pendulum?
Assuming the pendulum referred to s asimple pendulum of an arm and a weight the major factors on the period are the local attraction of gravity and the length of the arm.
What effect does decreasing the weight of the bob have on the period of the pendulum?
The weight of the bob will determine how long the pendulum swings before coming to rest in the absence of applied forces. The period, or time of 1 oscillation, is determined only by the length of the pendulum.
What effect does shortening the length of the pendulum have on the period of the pendulum?
A shorter pendulum has a shorter period. A longer pendulum has a longer period.
Does amplitude effect the period of a pendulum?
no it doesnt affect the period of pendulum. the formulea that we know for simple pendulum is T = 2pie root (L/g)
What happens to the period of a pendulum if you increase its mass?
The mass has no significant effect on the period.

How does length effect the period of a pendulum?
A longer pendulum has a longer period.
In simple pendulum if string is flexible then what is effect on time period?
multiply the length of the pendulum by 4, the period doubles. the period is proportional to the square of the pendulum length.
Which factor affects the period of the pendulum?
The period of a pendulum is affected by the angle created by the swing of the pendulum, the length of the attachment to the mass, and the weight of the mass on the end of the pendulum.
Does amplitude effect the period of a pendulum?
no it doesnt affect the period of pendulum. the formulea that we know for simple pendulum is T = 2pie root (L/g)
Does the period of a pendulum increases if you increase the weight?
In an 'ideal' pendulum ... on paper ... the string that holds the 'bob' has no weight of its own, and ALL of the weight is in the bob. If that's true, then the formulaa for the period doesn't involve the weight of the bob, and it has no effect.In a 'real' pendulum, the string always has some weight of its own. In that case, technically, a heavier bob would move the 'average' center of mass lower, and would technically increase the period of the swing. But unles you're using a piece of steel anchor-cable for a string, the weight of the bob has no noticeable effect on the period.
What happens to the period of a pendulum if you increase its mass?
The mass has no significant effect on the period.
Does gravity have the least effect on the period of the pendulum?
No,it does not have the least effect but as well contributes to its retardation
What is effect on time period of simple pendulum at centre of earth?
At the center of the Earth there would be no effective gravity; a pendulum wouldn't work as a pendulum.
What will be the effect of time period of a simple pendulum if its mass is doubled and its amplitude is halved?
The PERIOD of a Simple Pendulum is affected by its LENGTH, and NOT by its Mass or the amplitude of its swing. So, in your case, the Period of the Pendulum's swing would remain UNCHANGED!
