As the length of the string (or armature) of the pendulum increases the rotational speed of the pendulum decreases proportionately if the velocity of the weight remains the same.
Example: a pendulum operating a clock is rotating too fast. The clock is running fast as a result. by sliding the pendulum weight out away from the fulcrum (lengthening the armature in effect) the pendulum slows and corrects the time keeping accuracy of the clock.
* note: Metronomes operate using this principle as well.

Is a string wave a electromagnetic wave?
If you mean a wave on a string, no - that's a different type of wave.
What effect does tension have on pitch?
The tension effects how much the string is capable of vibrating. Different vibrations create different length sound waves so the sound will change at different tensions.
What is a pendulum?
A pendulum is an object that is attached to a pivot point so it can swing without friction. This object is subject to a restoring force that will accelerate it toward an equilibrium position. When the pendulum is displaced from its place of rest, the restoring force will cause the pendulum to oscillate about the equilibrium position. In other words, a weight attached to a string swings back and forth.A basic example is the simple gravity pendulum or bob pendulum. This is a weight (or bob) on the end of a mass less string, which, when given an initial push, will swing back and forth under the influence of gravity over its central (lowest) point.The regular motion of pendulums can be used for time keeping, and pendulums are used to regulate pendulum clocks.
Does the length of a string have any effect on the reading of the spring scale?
No, the length doesn't affect the reading because the mass is constant and therefore, the weight is constant. The string's weight is so small that it can be neglected.
How does the mass of a pendulum effect the speed it goes?
As long as the mass on the end is much greater than the mass of the string it's hanging from, the mass has no effect at all on the speed or the period.
The angle between the string of a pendulum at its equilibrium position and at its maximum displacement is the pendulums?
amplitude
How much does a string cost?
There are several different kinds of string, such as cotton, polypropylene, nylon, sisal, etc., and several different thicknesses available, and of course, many different lengths, and all of these things affect the price.Ya I think the same.
Are 5 string basses shorter than 4 string basses?
Actually, lengths of a bass does not depend on the number of strings. Basses can be of different length but this has no connection with the number of strings.
How many 30 cm lengths of string can be cut from a metre of string?

How many 30 cm lengths can be cut from 2 meters of string?
66.6
Can a 10 cm piece of string be cut into 3 equal lengths?
Yes.
How many 4foot lengths of string can be cut from a piece of string 3 yards 1 foot long?
4, you got to be young to not get this,
How many 4 foot lengths of string can be cut from a piece of string 3 yards 1 foot long?

How many 5 cm lengths of string can be cut from 40 cm?
A 40 cm piece of string can be cut into eight 5 cm pieces.
If you have forty meters of string how many pieces can you cut if you were cutting them into 200 centimeter lengths?
200 pieces.
How does a pendulums period vary with the length of its mass With Gravitational acceleration?
The length of the pendulum is measured from the pendulum's point of suspension to the center of mass of its bob. Its amplitude is the string's angular displacement from its vertical or its equilibrium position.
What do you do when you pinch the guitar string?
If you pinch or "pluck" the guitar string then let it go (based on how far away you let it go from the fretboard), you will get a "slap" effect. This is where the string "slaps" against the fretboard to give it a sharp twang before resuming a vibration. This is a classic effect often used on bass guitars, though there are different methods of doing this. One of which is to sharply knock the string into the fretboard and very quickly pulling away with the side of the thumb so that the string can still make a decent vibration.
