Answer the following questions:
$(a)$ The time period of a particle in $SHM$ depends on the force constant $k$ and mass $m$ of the particle: $T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}$. $A$ simple pendulum executes $SHM$ approximately. Why then is the time period of a pendulum independent of the mass of the pendulum?
$(b)$ The motion of a simple pendulum is approximately simple harmonic for small angle oscillations. For larger angles of oscillation,a more involved analysis shows that $T$ is greater than $2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}$. Think of a qualitative argument to appreciate this result.
$(c)$ $A$ man with a wristwatch on his hand falls from the top of a tower. Does the watch give correct time during the free fall?
$(d)$ What is the frequency of oscillation of a simple pendulum mounted in a cabin that is freely falling under gravity?

If a second's pendulum is moved to a planet where the acceleration due to gravity is $4$ times that on Earth,the length of the second's pendulum on the planet should be made .......... times to keep the time period constant.

Two pendulums of length $121 \ cm$ and $100 \ cm$ start vibrating in phase. At some instant,the two are at their mean position in the same phase. The minimum number of vibrations of the shorter pendulum after which the two are again in phase at the mean position is:

$A$ second's pendulum is placed in a space laboratory orbiting around the earth at a height $3R$,where $R$ is the radius of the earth. The time period of the pendulum is

In a stationary lift,the time period of a simple pendulum is $T$. If the lift starts accelerating downwards with an acceleration of $\frac{g}{4}$,then the new time period of the pendulum will be:
