The period of the pendulum is the reciprocal of the frequency:

The period of the pendulum is given by

where L is the length of the pendulum, and g the acceleration of gravity. By re-arranging the formula and using the value of T we found before, we can calculate the length of the pendulum L:
The answer is C. The mass of the platinum sample is greater than the mass of the lead sample. As I explained in a previous answer, if they are the same volume, but one is heavier, then it must be more dense. In this particular example, the platinum is more dense than the lead, and therefore has more mass.
<span>they are travelling at right angles to each other.
At any given instant they form a right triangle with their starting point
</span>South bound <span>= x [mi/h]
</span> East bound <span> = x+1 [mi/h]
after five hours they will be
d=5x
and
d=5(x+1)
miles away from the starting point
(5x)^2+(5(x+1))^2=625
25x^2+(5x+5)^2=625
25x^2+25x^2+50x+25=625
50</span>x^2+50x-600=0
<span> x^2+ x - 12=0
(x+4)(x-3)=0
take the postive value
x= 3 mph the speed of south bound
4mph east bound </span>
