A geologist uses a simple pendulum that has a length of 29 cm and a frequency of 0.841 Hz at a particular location on the Earth. What is the acceleration in m/s2 of gravity at this location?
Tuning Forks in Neurology Tuning forks are used in the diagnosis of nervous afflictions known as large-fiber polyneuropathies, which are often manifested in the form of reduced sensitivity to vibrations. Disorders that can result in this type of pathology include diabetes and nerve damage from exposure to heavy metals. The tuning fork here has a frequency of 170 Hz.
