1) A simple pendulum consist of a mass m tied to a string (considered massless) of length L. So would a baseball bat suspended from one end, swinging back and forth, make a simple pendulum?
No, right? because the "string" in this case is not massless. Does the string that is swinging the mass always have to be massless for it to be a simple pendulum?
2) Under what conditions does an oscillating mass tied to a string constitute a simple pendulum?
Is it considered a simple pendulum when the mass is displaced from the suspension point?
3) The period of the variable-g pendulum is T^2 = K(1/geff).
Upon what variables does K depend? (Hint: The moment of inertia is involved.)
