Question

Pendulum clock. Your friend is trying to construct a clock for a craft show and asks you for some advice. She has decided to construct the clock with a pendulum. The pendulum will be a very thin, very light wooden bar with a thin, but heavy, brass ring fastened to one end. The length of the rod is 80 cm and the diameter of the ring is 10 cm. She is planning to drill a hole in the bar to place the axis of rotation 15 cm from one end. She wants you to tell her the period of this pendulum.

Answer 1

The time period for this pendulum is 1.68 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution

Given that:

The length of the pendulum is measured from the axis of rotation to the center of mass of the bob of the pendulum

Now,

In this case, the length becomes:

L= 80 - 15+5

L = 70 cm

The time period = T = 2π √L/g

T = 2* 3.14 *√0.7/9.8

= 1.68 seconds
