Question

 Problem 19:   While visiting the Albert Michelson exhibit at Clark University, you notice that a chandelier (which looks remarkably like a simple pendulum) swings back and forth in the breeze once every T = 6.5 seconds.

Randomized VariablesT = 6.5 seconds

 

 

Part (a)  Calculate the frequency of oscillation (in Hertz) of the chandelier. 

 Part (b)  Calculate the angular frequency ω of the chandelier in radians/second. 
  Part (c)  Determine the length L in meters of the chandelier. 
   Part (d)  That evening, while hanging out in J.J. Thompson’s House O’ Blues, you notice that (coincidentally) there is a chandelier identical in every way to the one at the Michelson exhibit except this one swings back and forth 0.11 seconds slower, so the period is T + 0.11 seconds. Determine the acceleration due to gravity in m/s2 at the club.
