A visitor to a lighthouse wishes to determine the height of the tower. She ties a spool of thread to a small rock to make a simp

le pendulum, which she hangs down the center of a spiral staircase of the tower. The period of oscillation is 10.1 s. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . What is the height of the tower?

To solve this problem we must rely on the equations of the simple harmonic movement that define the period as a function of length and gravity as

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}

Where

l = Length

g = Gravity

Re-arrange to find L,

L = g (\frac{T}{2\pi})^2

Our values are given as

g = 9.81m/s

T = 10.1s

Replacing,

L = g (\frac{T}{2\pi})^2

L = (9.81) (\frac{10.1}{2\pi})^2

L = 25.348m

Therefore the height would be 25.348m

Two homogeneous bodies of the same volume
lord [1]

Answer:

No, it is not necessary for them to have same mass.

Explanation:

Let both bodies have a density d1 and d2 respectively.

Since their volumes are equal V1 = V2

we know that, https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7Bmass%7D%7Bvolume%7D

Hence, d1 =  and d2 =    

Taking the ratio of densities,we get

This implies that unless the bodies have same densities, the mass of the two bodies will not be same.
