Answer the following question : Time period of a particle in SHM depends on the force constant k and mass m of the particle: T=2pisqrt(m/k). A simple pendulum executes SHM approximately. Why then is the time period of a pendulum independent of the mass of the pendulum?

1.	Answer the following question : Time period of a particle in SHM depends on the force constant k and mass m of the particle: T=2pisqrt(m/k). A simple pendulum executes SHM approximately. Why then is the time period of a pendulum independent of the mass of the pendulum?
Answer» SOLUTION :For a simple pendulum, K itself is proportional to m, so m CANCELS out
