Does the weight of the bob effect the swinging of a pendulum? - Answers

No, weight does not factor into a pendulum swing (in a vacuum) Note that gravity effects all objects the same, drop a 10 pound weight and a 1 pound weight from the same distance and they will hit the ground at the same time. As long as friction from the air does not play a roll for example as with a feather vs a Bowling ball, (which will actually hit the ground at the same time if they are in a vacuum) the weight of the bob should not matter. However, because there are very slight variations in gravity with different elevations pendulums of the same weight will swing at different time intervals if one is on top of a mountain and one is at sea level.
