you want to measure the gravitational acceleration at your location. since g does not vary significantly over the surface of the earth you will have take very precise measurements you make a simple pendulum by typing a 55 g hex nut to a string of length 1.500 m. you pull the mass to the side and release it to let it oscillate observing that it takes 2.454 s for the mass to return to its original position what is the...

On your first trip to Planet X you happen to take along a 170 g mass, a 40-cm-long spring, a meter stick, and a stopwatch. You're curious about the free-fall acceleration on Planet X, where ordinary tasks seem easier than on earth, but you can't find this information in your Visitor's Guide. One night you suspend the spring from the ceiling in your room and hang the mass from it. You find that the mass stretches the spring by 21.7...
