Step 1
First, let's consider the mass. The lead bob is denser than brass and wood, so it has more mass. Therefore, the lead bob pendulum will have more energy in its swing compared to the other two. Show more…

Which of these affects the period of a string pendulum? the mass of the bob the force of the initial motion the material used to make the string the amplitude of the swing the length of the string

Pendulum A has a bob of mass $m$ hung from a string of length $L$; pendulum $\mathrm{B}$ is identical to $\mathrm{A}$ except its bob has mass $2 m .$ Compare the frequencies of small oscillations of the two pendulums.
You hang four pendulum bobs from strings connected to a wooden dowel. The strings are different lengths. How can you get the second longest pendulum bob to vibrate while the other three do not—without touching the pendulums? (a) Shake the dowel back and forth. (b) Shake the dowel back and forth at the resonant frequency of that pendulum. (c) Move the dowel sideways at any frequency. (d) Blow air on that bob.
