2 seconds. Period varies as length alone.

Trick question. 2 seconds. The period of a pendulum depends on the length of the pendulum and gravitational acceleration. It is independent of the mass of the pendulum bob.

2 seconds. The period and frequency are independent of the mass at the end. Only the length and acceleration due to gravity are important.

if i'm not wrong there won't be a change in period as period is not dependent on mass for simple pendulum-bob system
