The bob of a simple pendulum is displaced from its equilibrium position $O$ to a position $Q$ which is at height $h$ above $O$ and the bob is then released. Assuming the mass of the bob to be $m$ and the time period of oscillations to be $2.0 \, s$,the tension in the string when the bob passes through $O$ is

$A$ 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 $\pi \ s$)

The length of a seconds pendulum is $1 \,m$ on the earth. If the mass and diameter of a planet are double that of the earth, then the length of the seconds pendulum on the planet will be: (in $\,m$)

Time period of a simple pendulum is $T$ inside a lift when the lift is stationary. If the lift moves upwards with an acceleration $g / 2$,the time period of the pendulum will be

$A$ simple pendulum with an iron bob has a time period $T$. The bob is now immersed in a non-viscous liquid and oscillated. If the density of the liquid is $\frac{1}{12}$th that of iron,then the new time period will be:
