In the previous question, a small hole at the bottom of the shell lets the water leak out during oscillation. What is the effect on the time period while the shell empties? While the water leaks out, the period:

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

The centre of mass of shell plus water moves down as water drains, increasing the effective length until the water level passes through the centre of mass. After that it rises back to the shell centre. The period rises then falls back; once empty it equals the original.
