10. A man enters a tall tower, needing to know its height. He notes that a long pendulum extends from the ceiling almost to the floor and that its period is 12.0 s. (a) How tall is the tower? (b) If this pendulum is taken to the Moon, where the free-fall acceleration is 1.67 m/s² what is its period there?

The block is at rest as shown. What is the peiod of the oscillation if the block is pulled down by 10 cm, in seconds? Use g = 10 m/s². Your answer needs to have 2 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive. No unit is needed in your answer, it is already given in the question statement. 100 g 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90
The position of a 90 g oscillating mass is given by x(t)=A cos(10t−π/4)x(t)=A cos(10t−π/4), where ttt is in s and the amplitude A=4 cm. If necessary, round your answers to three significant figures. Determine The amplitude. The period. The spring constant. The phase constant.
