(a) If a pendulum has period T and you double its length, what is its new period in terms of T ? (b) If a pendulum has a length L and you want to triple its frequency, what should be its length in terms of L ? (c) Suppose a pendulum has a length L and period T on earth. If you take it to a planet where the acceleration of freely falling objects is ten times what it is on earth, what should you do to the length to keep the period the same as on earth? (d) If you do not change the pendulum’s length in part (c), what is its period on that planet in terms of T ? (e) If a pendulum has a period T and you triple the mass of its bob, what happens to the period (in terms of T )?

Suppose a pendulum has a length L and period T on earth. If you take it to a planet where the acceleration of freely falling objects is ten times what it is on earth, what should you do to the length to keep the period the same as on earth?
If you do not change the pendulum's length in part (c), what is its period on that planet in terms of T?
If a pendulum has a period T and you triple the mass of its bob, what happens to the period (in terms of T)?
An astronaut sets up a pendulum on the Moon, where the acceleration due to gravity is 1/6 that of Earth. If she finds that she must push the pendulum with a frequency of 0.10 Hz to maintain a swinging motion, what is the length of the pendulum?
The period of a simple pendulum (T) is measured as a function of length (L) on an unknown planet. The
dependence of
of L is linear (see the graph below). Use the slope of this graph to calculate the
acceleration of gravity on this planet, in m/s2.
