The spaceship Intergalactica lands on the surface of the uninhabited Pink Planet, which orbits a rather average star in the distan
Garbanzo Galaxy. A scouting party sets out to explore. The party's leader-a physicist, naturally—immediately makes a
determination of the acceleration due to gravity gpp on the Pink Planet's surface by means of a simple pendulum of length
1.30 m. She sets the pendulum swinging, and her collaborators carefully count 110 complete cycles of oscillation during 205 s
What does the party measure for gpp for the Pink Planet?

The masses of astronauts are
monitored during long stays in
orbit, such as when visiting a
space station. The astronaut is
strapped into a chair that is
attached to the space station by
springs and the period of
oscillation of the chair in a
frictionless track is measured. The
effective force constant of the
springs is 888.54 N/m
What is the mass of an astronaut
who has an oscillation period of
2.00 s when in the chair?
The movement of the space
station should be negligible. Find
the maximum displacement to the
100000 kg space station if the
astronaut's motion has an
amplitude of 0.100 m.
