Solution
(a) The time period of oscillations is directly proportional to the square root of the length of the pendulum.
(b) The time period of oscillations of simple pendulum does not depend on the mass of the bob.
(c) The time period of oscillations of simple pendulum does not depend on the amplitude of oscillations.
(d) The time period of oscillations of simple pendulum is inversely proportional to the square root of acceleration due to gravity.
