A man enters a tall tower and notices a long pendulum that very nearly reaches from the ceiling to the floor. The hanging mass swings back and forth with a period of 14.0 s. (a) Assuming that the pendulum is nearly as long as the tower is tall, what is the tower's height (in m)? m (b) Imagine that the pendulum could be transported to the surface of the Moon. If free-fall acceleration there is 1.67 m/s2, with what period (in seconds) will the pendulum swing?

A spring is hanging down from the ceiling, and an object of mass m is attached to the free end. The object is pulled down, thereby stretching the spring, and then released.

A simple pendulum consists of massless string tied to a point on the ceiling and a mass (m) attached to the end of the string (length L). As the pendulum oscillates back and forth, the angle "theta" is shown from the vertical. The mass is released from rest with theta equal 60 degrees. The mass is 10 kilograms, and the length is 2 meters. Calculate the magnitude of the acceleration of the 10 kilogram mass when the pendulum makes a 30 degree angle to the vertical.
