Time period does not change with mass but it changes with the position of the centre of mass. It is becoz the ' ' term in the timeperiod formula is defined as d distance between the point of suspension of the pendulum and its centre of mass. So, though it makes no difference whether you take a heavier of lighter sphere if the c.o.m. remains unchanged, it will make difference if the position of the c.o.m. changes. This is what Edison sir meant. Hope u get it this time.
