1. For small-amplitude oscillations, the time period of a simple pendulum depends on which factors?

The length of the pendulum and the acceleration due to gravity only

The mass of the bob only

The amplitude of swing only

The length, mass, and amplitude together

A simple pendulum’s time period depends only on its length and local gravity, not on the mass of its bob or its amplitude, provided the amplitude stays small.
