Physics 1101 Experiment 13 Homework NAME________________________________________________ 1. What is a simple pendulum? If you were to suspend a baseball bat from one end and let it swing back and forth, does it make a simple pendulum? 2. Under what conditions does an oscillating mass tied to a string constitute a simple pendulum? 3. For the variable-g pendulum, what is the value of geff when θ = 47 degrees? 4. The period of the variable-g pendulum is T2 = K(1/geff). Upon what variables do you think K might depend? (Hint: The moment of inertia is involved.) NOTE: You should answer question 1 in Experiment 13 in the laboratory manual before you come to the laboratory.
