(a) If I double the amplitude of oscillation, how much longer does it take for the pendulum to complete one cycle? (b) If I half the length of the string, how does that change the period? (c) If we move the pendulum to the moon where gmoon = gearth, how does the frequency of ocillation change? 6.

The top end of a spring is held fixed. A block is hung on the bottom end as in Figure OQ15.13a, and the frequency f of the oscillation of the system is measured. The block, a second identical block, and the spring are carried up in a space shuttle to Earth orbit. The two blocks are attached to the ends of the spring. The spring is compressed without making adjacent coils touch (Fig. OQ15.13b), and the system is released to oscillate while floating within the shuttle cabin (Fig. OQ15.13C).
