Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The periodic time of a simple pendulum can be increased by
A
increasing the length of the cord
B
decreasing the length of the cord
C
increasing the mass of the bob
D
decreasing the amplitude of oscillation
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Time period can be increased by increasing the length of the pendulum.

Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: The length of a pendulum directly affects its period because the longer the length of the pendulum, the longer the period will be. Likewise, a short pendulum has a shorter period. This concept can be demonstrated easily by observing two pendulums of different lengths.

Detailed explanation-3: -The time period of oscillation of the simple pendulum is directly proportional to the length of the string of pendulum. If the length of the string of the pendulum is increased then time period of the pendulum increases.

Detailed explanation-4: -Thus, if the length of the pendulum increases, the time period increases.
