5. A "seconds pendulum" is one that moves through its equilibrium position once each second. (The period of the pendulum is precisely 2 s.) The length of a seconds pendulum is 0.992 7 m at Tokyo, Japan and 0.994 2 m at Cambridge, England. What is the ratio of the free-fall accelerations at these two locations?

5- It is desired to measure the value of gravitational acceleration (g) with the help of a simple pendulum. Accordingly, it takes 5 measurements for the 20 oscillation periods of the pendulum and the length of the rope. Using this information, find the mean value (gor) for gravitational acceleration.

5 kilogram object is suspended from a string. The string is 4 meters long. What is the period of the object ting as a pendulum? Express your answer a number of seconds, omitting the unit.
A 50-cm-long spring is suspended from the ceiling. A 250 g mass is connected to the end and held at rest with the spring unstretched. The mass is released and falls, stretching the spring by 20 cm before coming to rest at its lowest point. It then continues to oscillate vertically. a. What is the spring constant?b. What is the amplitude of the oscillation? c. What is the frequency of the oscillation?
A mass of 0.4 kg oscillates up and down, supported by a spring. The period of the oscillation is 2.0 s. Next you replace the 0.4 kg mass with an object of unknown mass, and the period of vertical oscillations is now 3.2 s. What is the mass of this object? m2 i kg
