Answer:
Obviously Lengthen... 
or 
Explanation:
As we can observe from the equation, time period of a simple pendulum depends upon the length directly. When the gravitational acceleration increases the time period of the pendulum decreases and vice versa. So, by increasing the length, the time period can be adjusted...
Answer:
a) 46.5º b) 64.4º
Explanation:
To solve this problem we will use the laws of geometric optics
a) For this part we will use the law of reflection that states that the reflected and incident angle are equal
θ = 43.5º
This angle measured from the surface is
θ_r = 90 -43.5
θ_s = 46.5º
b) In this part the law of refraction must be used
n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂. Sin θ₂
sin θ₂ = n₁ / n₂ sin θ₁
The index of air refraction is n₁ = 1
The angle is this equation is measured between the vertical line called normal, if the angles are measured with respect to the surface
θ_s = 90 - θ
θ_s = 90- 43.5
θ_s = 46.5º
sin θ₂ = 1 / 1.68 sin 46.5
sin θ₂ = 0.4318
θ₂ = 25.6º
The angle with respect to the surface is
θ₂_s = 90 - 25.6
θ₂_s = 64.4º
measured in the fourth quadrant
<h3>Reducing Surface Area.</h3>
If the surface area becomes smaller, the pressure becomes larger.
Well, the tension in the thread will probably quadruple, but the hanging body will continue to just hang there.
The question gives us no evidence that it is doing any oscillating, and there's no reason for it to start just because it suddenly got heavier.
