Question #19986

Answer 1

Assuming no air resistance, no. But in the real world, yes.

Explanation:

Theoretically, the period T of a pendulum is given by `T=2pi sqrt(l/g)`.

T is only dependent on the length of the pendulum, l, and the gravitational acceleration, g.

However, in non-ideal cases, the shape of the pendulum will affect the amount of air resistance the pendulum faces during oscillation.
