A pendulum with a period of 2.00000 s in one location ⎛ ⎝g=9.80m/s2⎞ ⎠ is moved to a new location where the period is now 1.99796 s. What is the acceleration due to gravity at its new location?

Respuesta :

Answer:

9.82 m/s^2

Explanation:

T = 2 s, g = 9.8 m/s^2

T' = 1.99796 s

Let the acceleration due to gravity at new location is g'.

The formula for the time period of simple pendulum is given by

[tex]T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}[/tex]     .... (1)

here, length of the pendulum remains same.

Now at the new location, let the time period be T'.

[tex]T' = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g'}}[/tex]    .... (2)

Divide equation (2) by equation (1), we get

[tex]\frac{T'}{T} = \sqrt{\frac{g}{g'}}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1.99796}{2} = \sqrt{\frac{9.8}{g'}}[/tex]

[tex]0.99796 = {\frac{9.8}{g'}}[/tex]

g' = 9.82 m/s^2

tT9.82 m/s².

What is the time period of pendulum?

Pendulum is the body which is pivoted a point and perform back and forth motion around that point by swinging due to the influence of gravity.

The time period of a pendulum is the time taken by it to complete one cycle of swing left to right and right to left.

It can be given as,

[tex]T=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{L}{g}}[/tex]

Here, (g) is the gravitational force of Earth and (L) is the length of the pendulum.

The time period of the pendulum with a period of 2 s in one location g=9.80m/s2 can be given as,

[tex]2=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{L}{9.8}}\\L=0.996468\rm m[/tex]      

Now, this pendulum is move to a new location where the period is now 1.99796 s. Thus, put the value in the above formula as,

[tex]1.99796=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{0.996468}{g}}\\g=9.82\rm m/s^2[/tex]

Thus, the acceleration due to gravity at its new location for the pendulum is 9.82 m/s².
