The period p of a pendulum, or time it takes for the pendulum, or the time it takes for the pendulum to make one complete swing, varies directly as the square root of the length L of the pedulum. If the period of a pendulum is 1.1 s when the length is 2 f, find the period when the length is 7 ft. Round to the nearest hundredth.

Consider the case of a student wishing to determine the spring constant for a spring by measuring the period of oscillation of a mass on the spring. The student knows that the relationship between the spring constant (k), the mass (m), and the period of oscillation (T) is given by the equation T = 2πsquare root of m/k. (1) This is not a Iinear equation; to see this, plot the period (T) vs. mass ( m). E quation ( 1) can be made linear by squaring both sides of equation (1). Next try to put the equation into y = mx +b form (dont confuse m for slope in this equation with m for mass in equation 1 above). T2, is the independent variable, like y, m is the independent variable. Now plot T2 versus m and find the slope of the Iine in your graph. The slope of the resulting Iine can be used to determine the spring constant k. Show your calculation of the slope and k, the spring constant on your graph.

A simple pendulum is constructed from a short metal rod of the mass mand of the length / suspended horizontally to the ground by the middle on a weightless wire of the length L. The observed frequency of this pendulum is f. Write down an expression for the gravitational field strength. Please use "*" (without the quotes) for products (e.g. B*A), "/" for ratios (e.g. B/A) and the usual "+" and "-" signs as appropriate. For exponents (e.g. A²) use A*A or A^2 notation: thus A³/B should appear as either A*A*A/B or A^3/B. Please use the "Display response" button to check you entered the answer you expect.
