Based on Newton's second law of motion, the net force applied to an object is equal to the product of the mass of the object and the acceleration it experiences. That is,
F = ma
If we are to assume that the net force is constant and that the mass is increased, the acceleration should therefore decrease in order to make constant the value at the right-hand side of the equation.
Hello!
In a thermostat, the property of the bimetallic coil that allows it to contract and expand is that The two metals absorb different amounts of thermal energy.
This bimetallic coil is used to transform thermal energy into mechanical movement. Two metals with different thermal expansivity are joined together parallelly and the changes of temperature cause bending in different directions depending on if the temperature is rising or descending.
The differences in the thermal energy absorption of the two metals are the basis for the mechanism of this device.

Answer:
T= 4.24sec
Explanation:
We are going to use the formula below to calculate.
Where T is period
L is length of rod
g is acceleration due to gravity = 
From the problem, the rod is pivoted at 1/4L which means that three quarter of the rod was used for the oscillation. lets call this 
= 4.4625m
thus 
T= 4.24sec
