The spaceship Intergalactica lands on the surface of the uninhabited Pink Planet, which orbits a rather average star in the distan
Garbanzo Galaxy. A scouting party sets out to explore. The party's leader-a physicist, naturally—immediately makes a
determination of the acceleration due to gravity gpp on the Pink Planet's surface by means of a simple pendulum of length
1.30 m. She sets the pendulum swinging, and her collaborators carefully count 110 complete cycles of oscillation during 205 s
What does the party measure for gpp for the Pink Planet?

The cart impacts the safety barrier with speed vo = 3.30 m/s and is brought to a stop by the nest of nonlinear springs which provide a
deceleration a = -k1x - k2x°, where x is the amount of spring deflection from the undeformed position and k1 and k2 are positive
constants. If the maximum spring deflection is 440 mm and the velocity at half-maximum deflection is 3.04 m/s, determine the
values for the constants k1 and k2.

13) A spaceship captain lands on an unknown pl anet. Before venturing forth, he needs to find out the
acceleration due to gravity on that planet. All he has available to him is some thin light string, a
stopwatch, and a small 2.75-kg metal ball (it was a rough landing). So he lets the ball swing from a
1.5-m length of the string, starting at rest, and measures that it takes 1.9 s for it to swing from the
place where he released it to the place where it first stops as it reverses direction. What is the
acceleration due to gravity on this planet?
