Asimple pendulum consisting of a bob of mass m attached to a string of length l swings with a period t.

a.) if the bob's mass is doubled, approximately what will the pendulum's new period be?
b.) if the pendulum is brought on the moon where the gravitational acceleration is about g/6, approximately what will its period now be?
c.) if the pendulum is taken into the orbiting space station what will happen to the bob?

The right question is

b.) If the pendulum is carried to the moon where the acceleration of gravity is around g / 6, what is the current period?

Further Explanation

A simple pendulum consists of a light string and a small ball (pendulum ball) with mass m hanging from the end of the rope. In analyzing the movement of a simple pendulum, the air friction force is ignored and the mass of the rope is so small that it can be ignored relative to the ball.

A simple pendulum consisting of a rope with a length L and a pendulum ball with mass m. The forces acting on the pendulum ball are the weight force (w = mg) and the FT string tension force. Gravity has a component of mg cos theta which is in the direction of the rope and mg sin theta which is perpendicular to the rope. The pendulum oscillates due to the presence of mg sin theta gravity component. Because there is no air friction, the pendulum oscillates along a circular arc with the same amplitude.

The requirement for an object to do Simple Harmonic Motion is if the recovery force is proportional to the deviation. If the recovery force is proportional to the deviation of x or the angle of the theta, the pendulum performs Simple Harmonic Motion.

The simple pendulum period can be determined using the equation:

T = 2n (sqrt m / k

We replace the effective force constant with mg / L

T = 2n (sqrt m / (mg / L))

T = 2n (sqrt L / g -> 0 small)

Simple Pendulum Frequency

f = 1 / T

f = 1 / 2n (sqrt L / g)

f = (1 / 2n) (sqrt g / L -> 0 small)

This is a simple pendulum frequency equation

Information :

T is the period, f is the frequency, L is the length of the rope and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

The ultracentrifuge is an important tool for separating and analyzing proteins. because of the enormous centripetal accelerations, the centrifuge must be carefully balanced, with each sample matched by a sample of identical mass on the opposite side. any difference in the masses of opposing samples creates a net force on the shaft of the rotor, potentially leading to a catastrophic failure of the apparatus. suppose a scientist makes a slight error in sample preparation and one sample has a mass 10 mg larger than the opposing sample. if the samples are 12 cm from the axis of the rotor and the ultracentrifuge spins at 70,000 rpm, what is the magnitude of the net force on the rotor due to the unbalanced samples? ( be thorough on your answer)
