The bob of a simple pendulum executes simple harmonic motion in water with a period ttt, while the period of oscillation of the bob is t0t_0t0​ in air. Neglecting frictional force of water and given that the density of the bob is (43)×1000 kg/m3\left(\frac{4}{3}\right) \times 1000 \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{m}^3(34​)×1000 kg/m3. What relationship between ttt and t0t_0t0​ is true?

Options

  1. A

    t=t0t=t_0t=t0​

  2. B

    t=t0/2t=t_0 / 2t=t0​/2

  3. C

    t=2t0t=2 t_0t=2t0​

  4. D

    t=4t0\mathrm{t}=4 \mathrm{t}_0t=4t0​
