Question

See below and answer both parts fully.

A simple pendulum is made out of a string with length L and a mass m attached to one end of the string. Its period T of oscillation may depend on the gravitational acceleration g, and also depend on L and m. Based on dimensional analysis, which expression is dimensionally acceptable, where k is a dimensionless constant? T = kmL/g T = kL/g T = g/L T = kL/mg T = kmg/L T = kmg/L T = kL/g T = kg/L Convert an acceleration of 2.6 mi/h/s to m/S2. Answer in units of m/S2

Explanation / Answer

7 )T =2*pi*sqrt(L/g)


2.6 *1.6*1000/(3600)^2 = 3.2*10^-4 m/s^2
