$A$ simple pendulum of time period $1\,s$ and length $l$ is hung from a fixed support at $O$. The bob is at a distance $H$ vertically above $A$ on the ground. The amplitude is $\theta_0$. The string snaps at $\theta = \frac{\theta_0}{2}$. Find the time taken by the bob to hit the ground and the distance from $A$ where the bob hits the ground. Assume $\theta_0$ to be small,so that $\sin \theta_0 \approx \theta_0$ and $\cos \theta_0 \approx 1$.

The time period of oscillations of a simple pendulum is $1$ minute. If its length is increased by $44 \%$,then its new time period of oscillation will be ......... $s$.

In an experiment to determine the period of a simple pendulum of length $1\, m$,it is attached to different spherical bobs of radii $r_1$ and $r_2$. The two spherical bobs have uniform mass distribution. If the relative difference in the periods is found to be $5 \times 10^{-4}$,the difference in radii,$|r_1 - r_2|$,is best given by .... $cm$.
