Consider a Hollow Sphere filled with water performing Simple Harmonic Motion with Time period . Now all the water is removed . So It starts oscillating with time period .Compare & .

As Time period oscillation of rigid body is 2 π × g l
where l = l c o m k 2 + l c o m where k is radius of gyration and l c o m represents distance of C O M from point of suspension . And M k 2 = I c o m where is M is mass of rigid body and I c o m is moment of inertia about axis passing through C O M .
Initially Sphere can be considered as uniform solid sphere whose I c o m = 5 2 M R 2 ( R is radius of sphere)
Finally it is hollow sphere whose I c o m = 3 2 M R 2
Clearly l is more for hollow sphere So time period of hollow sphere is more than solid sphere
i.e T 1 < T 2 .
So people might think that time period will remain same but which is approximately but exactly it will not same.
