We might assume that the period of a simple pendulum depends on the mass M, the length l of the string and g the acceleration due to gravity, i.e T is directly proportional to m l g. Consider the dimensions of the quantities involved to deduce the values of alpha, beta, gamma hence show that T is directly proportional to √l/g
After landing on an unfamiliar planet, a space explorer constructs a simple pendulum of length 46.0 cm. The explorer finds that the pendulum completes 98.0 full swing cycles in a time of 145 s.
What is the magnitude of the gravitational acceleration on this planet?
