Answer:
a) The value of g at such location is:
[tex]g=9.8005171\,\frac{m}{s^2}[/tex]
b) the period of the pendulum with the length is 0.970 m is:
[tex]T=1.9767 sec[/tex]
Explanation:
Recall the relationship between the period (T) of a pendulum and its length (L) when it swings under an acceleration of gravity g:
[tex]L=\frac{g}{4\,\pi^2} \,T^2[/tex]
a) Then, given that we know the period (2.0 seconds), and the pendulum's length (L=0.993 m), we can determine g at that location:
[tex]g=\frac{4\,\pi^2\,L}{T^2}\\g=\frac{4\,\pi^2\,0.993}{(2)^2}\\g=\pi^2\,(0.993)\,\frac{m}{s^2} \\g=9.8005171\,\frac{m}{s^2}[/tex]
b) for this value of g, when the pendulum is shortened to 0.970 m, the period becomes:
