A hollow sphere is filled with water. It is hung by a long thread to make it a simple pendulum. As the water flows out of a hole at the bottom of the sphere, the frequency of oscillation will

detailed solution

Correct option is D

Frequency of a simple pendulum f=12πglEvidently,f∝1lat any place.            The effective length l is the distance of the point of suspension O' from the centre of gravity (CG) of the bob. As, water flows out of the hole at the bottom, the CG descends from centre towards the bottom, increas­ing the effective length, and consequently f decreases. However, when all the water has flows out, the CG of a hollow sphere is once again at its centre and hence the effective length would decrease, thereby increasing the frequency.
