Centripetal Force Problem with Tension on an Unknown Planet
Homework Statement An experiment is conducted on a "strange" planet to determine the acceleration due to the force of gravity there. A 2 meter length pendulum is suspended and put into horizontal circular path. Data collected: the pendulum makes 10 revolutions in 25 seconds while sweeping out a...- Jimmy5764
