Example 10.5: What is the gravitational field strength at planet Mercury, if a 0.500 m pendulum swings with a period of 2.30 s?
Given Length of the pendulum, ℓ = 0.500 m Time period of the pendulum, T = 2.3 s | Required Gravitational field strength, g | Formula |
Put values in the formula,
Squaring and simplifying,
