1. An astronaut on Planet X knows that its radius is 7.15x106m, but he would like to know its mass. To do this, he constructs a pendulum of length 52.3 cm. He then lets it swing on the surface of the planet, and measures its frequency as 0.361 Hz. What is the mass of Planet X, in kg? Enter your answer in scientific notation.

You are an astronaut, living for a long time interval in the
International Space Station (ISS). During your off-duty hours, you
have run out of books to read and video games to play. So, your
mind wanders to your hobby of music. The last book you read
discussed Gauss's law, and you get an inspiration. You plan to
attach two nonconducting spheres of radius r =
1.30 cm together using a light insulating string of length
L and linear mass...

1. An ideal pendulum has all of its mass m concentrated at the
end of a massless string of length L, as shown in the figure. The
mass is pulled to a slight angle to the left and released from
rest, and it takes exactly 1/8 th of a second to arrive at its
maximum position at an equal angle on the right side of
equilibrium. What is the frequency f of this motion?
2. An otherwise Earth-like planet is...
