(a)
The period of a 1-meter pendulum on Earth if the acceleration due to gravity at earth’s surface is 9.8 meters per second squared?
(a)
Answer to Problem 39E
Explanation of Solution
Given information: Physics: The period of a pendulum (the time required for one back and forth swing) can be determined by the formula
Calculation:
(b)
To calculate: The period of the pendulum on Venus, suppose the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Venus is 8.9 meters per second squared.
(b)
Answer to Problem 39E
Explanation of Solution
Given information: Physics: The period of a pendulum (the time required for one back and forth swing) can be determined by the formula
Calculation:
(c)
How must the length of the pendulum be changed to double the period?
(c)
Answer to Problem 39E
The length is multiplied by 4 to double the period
Explanation of Solution
Given information: Physics: The period of a pendulum (the time required for one back and forth swing) can be determined by the formula
Calculation:
This means the length is multiplied by 4 to double the period.
