When the length L of aclock pendulum is held constant by controlling its temperature,the pendulum’s period T depends on the acceleration of gravity g.The period will therefore vary slightly as the clock is moved fromplace to place on Earth’s surface, depending on the change in g.By keeping track of DELTA T, we can estimate the variation in g fromthe equation T = 2π(L/g)1/2 that relates T, g, and L. A clock with a 100-cm pendulum is moved from a location where g = 980 cm/sec2 to a new location. This increases the period by dT = 0.001 sec. Find dg and estimate the value of g at the new location.
Determine the damping constant of the dashpot as shown in the figure. The dashpot consists of a piston diameter of 50mm and length 70mm, moving with velocity v0 in a cylinder filled with a liquid of viscosity 0.17 Pa-sec. Let the clearance between the piston and thr cylinder wall be 0.3mm

- The figure below shows a piston from your car engine. Don't worry, you will not be required to understand an internal combustion engine for this problem. Instead, we simply notice that the up/down motion of the piston is exactly described as Simple Harmonic Motion. The tachometer on your dashboard tells you that your engine is turning at w = 1660 rpm (revolutions/minute). The owner's manual for your car tells you that the amplitude of the motion of the piston is Ymax = A = 0.099 meters.
