(4) Due to the shape of the earth - in fact, it is not a perfect sphere - the acceleration due to gravity
increases when latitude increases. If the pendulum is taken from the equator (latitude = 0°) to
the North or South Pole (latitude = 90°), describe the changes that would take place with respect
to the period of the pendulum and the accuracy of the clock (i.e., would the clock run too fast
or too slow) and why.
3) An astronaut on the surface of a 6.50 X 102⁹ kg planet determines that an 80 cm pendulum
requires 162 s to swing 50 cycles. What is the radius of the planet?
