A simple pendulum is 1.15 meters long and has a period of 6.29 seconds. The pendulum is on an unknown planet. What is the acceleration of gravity of the Unknown Planet

Respuesta :

Answer:

The value of the acceleration of gravity of the Unknown Planet = 1.14 [tex]\frac{m}{s^{2} }[/tex]

Explanation:

length of the pendulum (L)= 1.15 m

Time period (T)= 6.29 seconds

We know that time period  of a simple pendulum is given by

⇒ T = 2[tex]\pi[/tex] × [tex]\sqrt\frac{L}{g}[/tex]

put the values in the above formula we get

⇒ T = 2[tex]\pi[/tex] × [tex]\sqrt \frac{1.15}{g}[/tex]

⇒ 6.29 = 2[tex]\pi[/tex] × [tex]\sqrt \frac{1.15}{g}[/tex]

By solving the above equation we get

g = 1.14 [tex]\frac{m}{s^{2} }[/tex]

This is the value of the acceleration of gravity of the Unknown Planet.
