A simple pendulum has a time period of 5 seconds. What should be the length of the pendulum on the Moon to have the same time period? (Gravitational acceleration on the Moon is of that on Earth.)
Length of the pendulum on the Moon for a 5-second time period: We are given that the time period on the Moon should be 5 seconds. The formula for the time period is: T=2π√L/g Rearrange the formula to find L: L=gT2/4π2L Substitute the values for the Moon: L=1.63×52/4π2 L≈6.53×6.25≈40.8m Related Questions: A simple pendulum … Read more
