    How Does Reducing Balance Wheel Dimensions Affect Angular SHM Frequency?

    Homework Statement Your boss at the Cut-Rate Cuckoo Clock Company asks you what would happen to the frequency of the angular SHM of the balance wheel if it had the same density and the same coil spring (thus the same torsion constant), but all the balance wheel dimensions were made one-third...

    Satellite Orbiting Homework: Calculating Period of Planet X

    I thought L= r So far I've been using the T= 2(pi)(r)^(3/2) all over the square root of Gm-sub-e. I don't know what Gm-sub-e is so I tried solving for it using the weight equation but that isn't working. What am I missing?
