A grandfather clock (with a pendulum) keeps perfect time on Earth. If you were to transport this clock to the Moon, would its period of oscillation increase, decrease, or stay the same? Would its frequency of oscillation increase, decrease, or stay the same? Explain.

a) Therefore the period of oscillation in the moon will increase.

b) The frequency in the moon will decrease

Explanation:

The period of the pendulum is given by this equation:

(1)

As we can see, T is proportional to L and inversely proportional to the gravity vector. We know that g in the earth is grader than g in the moon.

(2)

Therefore the period of oscillation in the moon will increase.

(3)              

Now, the frequency of oscillation is:

In this case, ω is proportional to g, then using (1) we can conclude that:

Therefore the frequency in the moon will decrease.

I hope it helps you!

the answer is f1 and d2 because if you put equal force on those two points the beam would balance trust me on this
