Q.On what factors does the frequency of a conical pendulum depend? Is it independent of some factors?

From $n=\frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{g/(L\cos\theta)}$, frequency depends on the string length L, the semi-vertical angle $\theta$, and g -- but is completely independent of the bob's mass. …

From the derived frequency of a conical pendulum, $n=\dfrac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\dfrac{g}{L\cos\theta}}$, the frequency depends on three things: the LENGTH of the string L (a longer string gives a lower frequency), the SEMI-VERTICAL ANGLE $\theta$ the string makes with the vertical (a larger $\theta$, i.e. a 'flatter' cone, means smaller $\cos\theta$ and hence a HIGHER frequency), and the local value of g (a larger g gives a higher frequency, e.g. the same pendulum would revolve faster on a planet with stronger surface gravity). Crucially, the mass m of the bob does NOT appear anywhere in this formula -- it cancelled out when dividing the two force equations $T_0\sin\theta=mr\omega^2$ and $ …
