(a) You wish to determine the height of the smokestack of a local coal burning power plant. You convince a member of the maintenance crew to mount the support for a simple pendulum at the top of the stack and you suspend a 1.00 kg mass that just misses the ground at its lowest point from the pendulum cord. If the period of the pendulum is 35.3 s, determine the height of the smokestack.
m
(b) If you had the ability to take this pendulum to the moon, where the acceleration due to gravity is 1.67 m/s2, what would you expect the period of the pendulum to be?
s
