Step 1
The pendulum takes 5 minutes (300 seconds) for 100 oscillations. The time period \( T_X \) is given by: \[ T_X = \frac{\text{Total time}}{\text{Number of oscillations}} = \frac{300 \text{ s}}{100} = 3 \text{ s} \] Show more…

$g$ is to be determined by measuring the period of a pendulum. How accurately (in seconds) would you have to measure the time for 100 oscillations of a 10 -m-long pendulum to achieve a $0.1 \%$ error in the measurement of $g$ ? Calculate the percent error and an absolute error, in milliseconds. Compare your answer to Exercise 9 in Chapter 14 .
When used on Earth, a simple pendulum oscillates with a period of 4 seconds. When used on Planet X, the same pendulum oscillates with a period of 2.5 seconds. Which of the following is the acceleration due to gravity on Planet X? 2.8 m/s2 15.7 m/s2 25.0 m/s2 36.0 m/s2
