JEE Main 31-Aug-2021 Shift 2 Solved Paper

Given that, a bob of mass m suspended by a thread of length l undergoes SHM with time period,
T1=T=2π√

g

...(i)
In liquid, effective gravity,
geff=g(

σ−ρ

σ

)
where, ρ = density of liquid
and σ = density of body (bob).
Given, ρ=

σ

⇒σ=4ρ
Substituting this value, we get
geff=g(

4ρ−ρ

4ρ

)=

Now, the new time period of pendulum in liquid is
T′=2π√
