Question
The period T of a simple pendulum is given by T=2π√L/g where L is the length of the pendulum and g is the acceleration due to gravity. Thus if L and T are measured, we can estimate g with g = 4π²L/T². Assume that the period is known to be T = 1.5s with negligible uncertainty, and that L is measured to be 0.559 ± 0.005 m. Estimate g, and find the uncertainty in the estimate.

Although the arrival of automobiles is irregular, traffic engineers have found that the average waiting time T until there is a gap in traffic of at least 1 seconds is approximately T = te Riseconds. A pedestrian walking at a speed of 3.3 ft/s requires t =s to cross the road. Therefore, the average time the pedestrian will have to wait before crossing is f(w, R) = () WR/3.3 What is the pedestrian's average waiting time if w = 24 ft and R = 0.2 vehicle per second?
