Swing away:
a) A pendulum undergoing simple harmonic motion completes a cycle in a time T. If the pendulum’s amplitude is doubled, the time required for one cycle is still T, even though the pendulum covers twice the distance. How can this be? Explain.
b) A pendulum is made from a bowling ball sized hollow plastic sphere filled with sand. It is anchored from the ceiling using a 10-ft long rope and set into motion. As it swings, sand leaks out from a small hole at the bottom of the sphere and onto the floor below. What effect does this loss of sand have on the period of the pendulum? Explain.
