Why is the spherical bob preferred to bobs of other shapes use in the simple pendulum experiment?

(i.) Because its center of mass is central and its weight is uniformly distributed in all directions, thereby limiting variations when moving through air.
(ii.) It experiences the least air-resistance when moving through air (or least damping effect)

Why is a simple pendulum bob preferred to bobs of irregular shapes for use in the simple pendulum experiment?
it is less ffected by air resistance
What is the Data analysis of does the shape of an ice cube affect how quickly it melt?
design of experiment collect different shapes and your data is the melt time of them and use random effect
What is curvature of earth?
The Earth is a sphere. It is shaped like a sphere because gravity shapes it this way. For this same reason the moon, sun, and other massive bodies in space are also spherical.
What is meant by the term center of gravity?
It's an older term; nowadays the phrase "Center of mass" seems to be preferred. It's, basically, the mass-weighted center of a ... well, a thing. The center of a sphere of uniform density is easy to calculate; it's the geometric center of the sphere. For other shapes or for objects where the density is not the same throughout, it's more complicated.
Can liquids flow into new shapes?

Are planets different shapes?
No. All planets are spherical.
What is the importance of spherical trigonometry in math?
Historically, it is because we live on a planet which is approximately spherical. 2-dimensional trigonometry was adequate for relatively small shapes where the curvature of the earth had negligible effect. For larger shapes the spherical nature of the earth was important and therefore, so was spherical trigonometry.
What are inner planet shapes?
The inner planets have a spherical shape. In fact all planets are more or less spherical.
Why the raindrop is spherical?
rain drop is spherical since the surface tension of sphere is less when compared to other shapes.
