A) You want to use a pendulum to create a clock with a period of exactly one second in Boone, NC. How long will the pendulum be? Show all your work. (We can predict the period of your simple pendulum using your measurements and Boone’s local gravity g = 9.79 ± 0.01 m/s^2).
B) You move your (C1) pendulum to a planet which has a local acceleration due to gravity of 1/9th that of 9.8 m/s^2. How would the period change? Show all work.
T = time period
L = length of the pendulum
g = the gravity
using equation T = 2 L / g
given T = 1 second
g = 9.8 m / sec2
then L = ?
1 = 2 X 3.14 X L / 9.8
1 / 6.28 = L / 9.8
0.159 = L / 9.8
0.0252 = L / 9.8
L = 0.0252 X 9.8
L= 0.246 m
the pendulum should have the length is L = 0.246 m

The period of a simple pendulum in a grandfather clock on another planet is 1.80 s. What is the acceleration due to gravity on this planet if the length of the pendulum is 1.00 m.
If a fixed length simple pendulum is found to have three times the period on an unknown planet’s surface (compared to Earth), what is the acceleration due to gravity on that planet? Show your work.
A grandfather clock has a pendulum that consists of a thin brass disk of radius 37 cm and mass 1.6 kg that is attached to a long, thin rod of negligible mass. The pendulum swings freely about an axis perpendicular to the rod and through the end of the rod opposite the disk. The pendulum should be designed so that its period is 2 s for small oscillations when the gravitational acceleration is 9.8 m/s2. (a) What should the length...
