You want to build a grandfather clock with a pendulum (a weight on the end of a light cable)
that has a one second period.
a) How long do you make the cable?
b) Suppose the cable stretches a bit from the weight on the end. Will the clock run fast or
slow??
2. What is the period of a simple pendulum 50 cm long
a) on Earth

3. The length of a simple pendulum is 0.66 m, the pendulum bob has a mass of 310 g, and it is
released at an angle of 120 to the vertical.
a) With what frequency does it oscillate? Assume SHM.
b) What is the pendulum bob’s speed when it passes through the lowest point of the swing?
(Energy is conserved) c) What is the total energy stored in the oscillation assuming no
losses?
