The acceleration of gravity can be found from the length l and period T of a pendulum; the formula is g = 4π2l/T 2. Find the relative error in g in the worst case if the relative error in l is 5%, and the relative error in T is 2%.
It is said that Galileo discovered a basic principle of the pendulum - that the period is independent of the amplitude - by using his pulse to time the period of swinging lamps in the cathedral as they swayed in the breeze. Suppose that one oscillation of a swinging lamp takes 9 s. How long is the lamp chain (in meters)?
Sort the variables for the period from t2=0.5s until the car comes to rest, at time t3, based on whether their values are known or unknown.
