Deposits of minerals and ore can alter the local value of the freefall acceleration because they tend to be denser than surrounding rocks. Geologists use a gravimeteran instrument that accurately measures the local free-fall accelerationto search for ore deposits. One of the simplest gravimeters is a pendulum. To achieve the highest accuracy, a stopwatch is used to time 100 oscillations of a pendulum of different lengths. At one location in the field, a geologist makes the following measurements: What is the local value of g?
