[Physics] How does the change in the center of mass affect the time period of Bob

harmonic-oscillatornewtonian-mechanics

We know that the change in mass does not affect the time period of a pendulum. Will a change in the location of the center of mass of the bob affect the time period?

Best Answer

The length of pendulum is the distance from the point of suspension to the centre of mass of Bob. So if you change the centre of mass the length of pendulum would be affected affecting the time period
