The spaceship Intergalactica lands on the surface of the uninhabited Pink Planet, which orbits a rather average star in the distant Garbanzo Galaxy. A scouting party sets out to explore. The party's leader–a physicist, naturally–immediately makes a determination of the acceleration due to gravity on the Pink Planet's surface by means of a simple pendulum of length 1.18 m. She sets the pendulum swinging, and her collaborators carefully count 103 complete cycles of oscillation during 217 s. What is the result?
A pendulum that consists of two uniform rings, the first ring has Radius R = 12 cm and mass 2.5kg, and the second ring has radius r= 7cm and mass 1.6kg. Both rings are attached to a rod of mass 0.15kg. The pendulum swings freely about frictionless pivot o. If the pendulum is to have a period of 2.2 a for small oscillations, what must be the rod length L?
