The correct Answer is:
To find the length of a seconds pendulum at a place where \( g = \pi^2 \, \text{m/s}^2 \), we can use the formula for the time period of a simple pendulum: \[ T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}} \] Where: - \( T \) is the time period of the pendulum, - \( L \) is the length of the pendulum, - \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity. ### Step 1: Set the time period for a seconds pendulum A seconds pendulum has a time period of \( T = 2 \) seconds. ### Step 2: Substitute the values into the formula We can substitute \( T = 2 \) seconds and \( g = \pi^2 \, \text{m/s}^2 \) into the formula: \[ 2 = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{\pi^2}} \] ### Step 3: Simplify the equation Dividing both sides by \( 2 \): \[ 1 = \pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{\pi^2}} \] ### Step 4: Isolate the square root Now, we can isolate the square root: \[ \frac{1}{\pi} = \sqrt{\frac{L}{\pi^2}} \] ### Step 5: Square both sides to eliminate the square root Squaring both sides gives: \[ \left(\frac{1}{\pi}\right)^2 = \frac{L}{\pi^2} \] This simplifies to: \[ \frac{1}{\pi^2} = \frac{L}{\pi^2} \] ### Step 6: Solve for \( L \) Multiplying both sides by \( \pi^2 \): \[ L = 1 \, \text{meter} \] ### Conclusion The length of the seconds pendulum at the specified location is \( 1 \, \text{meter} \). ---
