When a pendulum with a period of 2.00000 s is moved to a new
location from one where the acceleration due to gravity was 9.80
m/s2, its new period becomes 1.99894 s. By how much does
the acceleration due to gravity differ at its new
location?
Time period T of a pendulum is inversely proportional to the square root of the acceleration due to gravity at that place i.e.,
Hence, for two different places we must have,
So, change in acceleration due to gravity is
This is by how much the acceleration due to gravity at the new place differs.
