A pendulum is formed by pivoting a long thin rod about a point on the rod. In a series

Chapter 15, Problem 55

(choose chapter or problem)

A pendulum is formed by pivoting a long thin rod about a point on the rod. In a series of experiments, the period is measured as a function of the distance x between the pivot point and the rods center. (a) If the rods length is L 2.20 m and its mass is m 22.1 g, what is the minimum period? (b) If x is chosen to minimize the period and then L is increased, does the period increase, decrease, or remain the same? (c) If, instead, m is increased without L increasing, does the period increase, decrease, or remain the same?
