Answer:
a) The value of g at such location is:
b) the period of the pendulum with the length is 0.970 m is:
Explanation:
Recall the relationship between the period (T) of a pendulum and its length (L) when it swings under an acceleration of gravity g:
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:
b) for this value of g, when the pendulum is shortened to 0.970 m, the period becomes:
