The value of gravitational acceleration 'g' is totally unaffected by changing mass of the body. We are not talking about weight of the pendulum. It is the value 'g' we are talking about, which remains unaffected by changing mass as:
g= ((2xpie)2)xL)/T2
where,
g= gravitational acceleration
L= length of simple pendulum
T= time period in which the pendulum completes its single vibration or oscillation
What else can I help you with?
What happens when you double the mass of a pendulum?
Doubling the mass of a pendulum will not affect the time period of its oscillation. The time period of a pendulum depends on the length of the pendulum and the acceleration due to gravity, but not on the mass of the pendulum bob.
WHAT IS the term for the mass at the end of a pendulum?
The mass at the end of the pendulum is the bob
Does the mass of the pendulum bob affect the value of acceleration of gravity?
No, it does not. The earth's acceleration is relatively constant at or near the surface; about 9.8 meters per second squared. In short, just because the mass of an object is more or less does not mean it can affect the gravitational force of the earth. ================================= I think you may be asking whether the mass of the pendulum bob affects the result of the MEASUREMENT when we use that pendulum to measure the local acceleration of gravity. There again, the answer is No ... When you look at the formula that relates the period of the pendulum, its length, and the local gravity, the mass of the pendulum doesn't appear in the formula, and the result of the calculation is the same no matter how heavy your bob is. Now, if you want to get technical about it, the 'length' of the pendulum is the distance from the pivot to the center of mass. So, if the string or other means of suspension from which the bob hangs is NOT massless, then the mass of the bob does affect the position of the center of mass, and therefore the period of the pendulum. So for accurate measurement, it's always best to use the lightest possible string, and the most massive possible bob, in order to have the center of mass actually located as close as possible to where you THINK it is.
The weight on a pendulum is called?
The weight on a pendulum is a 'mass' or a 'bob'.
What property of a pendulum does not affect its period?
The weight of the 'bob' doesn't, as long as the distance fromthe pivot to the swinging center of mass doesn't change.
What happens when you double the mass of a pendulum?
Doubling the mass of a pendulum will not affect the time period of its oscillation. The time period of a pendulum depends on the length of the pendulum and the acceleration due to gravity, but not on the mass of the pendulum bob.

What happens to time period of a simple pendulum if a heavy body is attached to it instead of bob?
The period of a simple pendulum is independent of the mass of the bob. Keep in mind that the size of the bob does affect the length of the pendulum.
The weight on a pendulum is called?
The weight on a pendulum is a 'mass' or a 'bob'.
What property of a pendulum does not affect its period?
The weight of the 'bob' doesn't, as long as the distance fromthe pivot to the swinging center of mass doesn't change.
What is the effect of changing length or mass of the pendulum on the value of g?
Changing the length or mass of a pendulum does not affect the value of acceleration due to gravity (g). The period of a pendulum depends on the length of the pendulum and not on its mass. The formula for the period of a pendulum is T = 2π√(L/g), where T is the period, L is the length of the pendulum, and g is the acceleration due to gravity.
What are the factors affecting the motion of a simple pendulum?
The factors affecting the motion of a simple pendulum include the length of the pendulum, the mass of the pendulum bob, and the gravitational acceleration at the location where the pendulum is situated. The amplitude of the swing and any damping forces present also affect the motion of the pendulum.
Why time period of simple pendulum is independent of mass?
The time period of a simple pendulum depends only on the length of the pendulum and the acceleration due to gravity, not the mass of the pendulum bob. This is because the mass cancels out in the equation for the time period, leaving only the factors that affect the motion of the pendulum.
What happen to the time period of pendulum if the mass of bob is changed?
The period of a pendulum is not affected by the mass of the bob. The period is determined by the length of the pendulum and the acceleration due to gravity. Changing the mass of the bob will not alter the time period of the pendulum's swing.
Why does mass not affect the period of a pendulum?
The period of a pendulum is determined by the length of the pendulum and the acceleration due to gravity, but it is independent of the mass of the pendulum bob. This is because as the mass increases, so does the force of gravity acting on it, resulting in a larger inertia that cancels out the effect of the increased force.
What are the factors that affect the stability of a pendulum with an oscillating support?
The factors that affect the stability of a pendulum with an oscillating support include the length of the pendulum, the amplitude of the oscillations, the frequency of the oscillations, and the mass of the pendulum bob. These factors can influence how smoothly the pendulum swings and how well it maintains its motion.
