If the mass and the length of a certain pendulum are both doubled, what effect will this have on the period of the pendulum?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the period will probably be greater :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I would say that the mass has no effect on the period but the length of the string might double it. But you can calculate this with T=2(pi) times the squareroot of the length of the pendulum divided by earth acceleration g.

You're totally right, I have the formula but I misinterpreted g for mass for some reason... Probably for grams or something. But you're right, thank you!
