The spaceship Intergalactica lands on the surface of the uninhabited Pink Planet, which orbits a rather average star in the distant Garbanzo Galaxy. A scouting party sets out to explore. The party's leader–a physicist, naturally–immediately makes a determination of the acceleration due to gravity on the Pink Planet's surface by means of a simple pendulum of length 1.37 m. She sets the pendulum swinging, and her collaborators carefully count 108 complete cycles of oscillation during 209 s. What is the result?

Answer:

Explanation:

Length of pendulum l = 1.37 m

time period T =  time /no of oscillation

= [tex]\frac{209}{108}[/tex]

= 1.935

Formula for time period of pendulum

[tex]T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{l}{g} }[/tex]

g is acceleration due to gravity , l is length of pendulum and T is time period.

Substituting the given values

[tex]1.935=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{1.37}{g} }[/tex]

.095 = [tex]\frac{1.37}{g}[/tex]

g = 14.42 m /s².

The required value of gravitational acceleration is 14.42 m/s².

Time period of Pendulum:

The time taken by the bob of the pendulum attached with a string to complete one complete oscillation is known as the time period of a pendulum.

Given data:

The length of a simple pendulum is, L = 1.37 m.

The number of oscillations is n = 108.

The time interval is, t = 209 s.

The expression for the time period of simple pendulum is,

T = t/n

T = 209/108

T = 1.935 s

And another expression for the time period of simple pendulum is,

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

here,

g is the gravitational acceleration.

Solving as,

[tex]1.935 = 2 \pi \sqrt{\dfrac{1.37}{g}}\\\\ g = \dfrac{1.37}{0.095}\\\\ g = 14.42 \;\rm m/s^{2}[/tex]

Thus, we can conclude that the required value of gravitational acceleration is 14.42 m/s².
