Question:medium

The time period of a simple pendulum is $T$ in air. When the bob is completely immersed in a non-viscous liquid of density $\rho / 10$ (where $\rho$ is the density of the bob), the new time period of oscillation is: [H] [width=0.5\linewidth]{86.png}

Show Hint

Upthrust always opposes gravity, meaning $g_{\text{eff}}$ decreases and the pendulum swings slower (time period $T$ increases). This immediately eliminates options where the factor is less than 1.

  • $T \sqrt{\frac{10}{9}}$
  • $T \sqrt{\frac{9}{10}}$
  • $T \sqrt{\frac{10}{11}}$
  • $T \sqrt{\frac{11}{10}}$
