A pendulum with a length of precisely 0.98 m can be used to measure the acceleration due to gravity, g. Such a device is called a gravimeter. How long do 80 oscillations take at sea level, where g= 9.81 m/s?? Suppose you take a gravimeter to a spot on Venus where the value of g is 0.89% less than the value of g at sea level on Earth. How long do 80 oscillations take a this place on Venus? Would you be able to measure the difference with a stopwatch that can measure time differences of 0.1 s? A. No. B. Yes.
