Period of an ideal simple pendulum  =  2π √(L / G)

                                          1.87 = 2π √ (L / 9.81)

Divide each side by  2π :      (1.87 / 2π) = √ (L / 9.81)

Square each side:                (1.87 / 2π)²  =  L / 9.81

Multiply each side by  9.81 :      L = (9.81) (1.87 / 2π)²  = <em> 0.869 meter</em>

                                              Choice 'D' is the closest one.

Answer : The correct option is, (D) 0.87 meters

Solution :

Formula used :

T=2\pi \times \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}

where,

T = time period of a pendulum = 1.87 seconds

L = length of the pendulum = ?

g = gravity on earth = 9.8m/s^2

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get the length of the pendulum.

1.87s=2\times \frac{22}{7}\times \sqrt{\frac{L}{9.8m/s^2}}

0.2975=\sqrt{\frac{L}{9.8m/s^2}}

Now squaring on both the sides, we get

L=0.868m=0.87m

Therefore, the length of the pendulum is, 0.87 meters.

Nearly all physics problems will use the unit m/s squared. Why are the seconds squared?
Artist 52 [7]
Seconds squared is the time unit of acceleration.  It represents the change in distance units per second per second. For example, 3 m/sec² means a distance covering 3 meters in the first second, then 9 meters in the 2nd second, and 37 meters in the third second. (3^1, 3^2, 3^3).

Acceleration is part of Newton's 2nd law: force = mass x acceleration. Units of work: joule = kg·m²/s², and power: watts = kg·m²/s³ all contain accelerations.

What advantage do space telescopes have over telescopes used on earth?
Elina [12.6K]
Earth's atmosphere blocks many types of light including gamma, x-rays most ultraviolet and infrared. So optical telescopes that use visible light and ultraviolet telescopes that are used to study very hot stars are much less effective on Earth.

What are the periodic variations in Earth's rotation and orbit around the sun that alter the way solar radiation is distributed
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

1. The precession of the equinoxes.

2. Changes in the tilt angle of Earth’s rotational axis relative to the plane of Earth’s orbit around the Sun.

3. Variations in the eccentricity

Explanation:

These variations listed above;  the precession of the equinoxes (refers, changes in the timing of the seasons of summer and winter), this occurs on  a roughly about 26,000-year interval; changes in the tilt angle of Earth’s rotational axis relative to the plane of Earth’s orbit around the Sun, this occurs roughly in a 41,000-year interval; and changes in the eccentricity (that is a departure from a perfect circle) of Earth’s orbit around the Sun, occurring on a roughly 100,000-year timescale. which influences the mean annual solar radiation at the top of Earth’s atmosphere.
