No, a torsional pendulum works with the restoring force provided by the elasticity of the support rod, or (in clocks and watches) by the spring on the balance-wheel.

What does the frequency of a pendulum depend on?

The frequency of a pendulum depends on the length of the pendulum and the acceleration due to gravity. It is described by the equation f = 1 / (2π) * √(g / L), where f is the frequency, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and L is the length of the pendulum.


How does the period of a simple pendulum depend on mass gravitational field strength length?

The period of a simple pendulum does not depend on the mass of the pendulum bob. The period does depend on the strength of the gravitational field (acceleration due to gravity) and on the length of the pendulum. A longer length will result in a longer period, while a stronger gravitational field will result in a shorter period.


What is effect on time period of simple pendulum at centre of earth?

The time period of a simple pendulum at the center of the Earth would be constant and not depend on the length of the pendulum. This is because acceleration due to gravity is zero at the center of the Earth, making the time period independent of the length of the pendulum.


Does the acceleration due to gravity depend on the mass of the cart?

No. On Earth the force of gravity or acceleration is always about 9.8m/sec^2 Earth's gravity does not change just because the cart gets heavier lighter.


What factors does the weight of an object depend?

Mass and gravity


The relative surface gravity on earth is?

That's going to depend on 'relative' to what ?Relative to the acceleration of gravity on Earth, it's precisely 1.000, or 100% .Relative to the acceleration of gravity on Pluto, it's 16.822, or 1,682.2 % .


Why time period of pendulum depends on length not other factors?

It does depend on the force of gravity where the pendulum is located. There are other factors that it depends on but their contribution, in normal circumstances, is negligible enough to ignore.


What will the time period of simole pendulum in free space?

Unless it's in a ship that is accelerating, a simole pendulum will not swing in free space. If it's in a ship that's accelerating, its period will depend on the magnitude of the acceleration.


What two factors does the weight of an object depend?

The weight of an object depends on its mass and the acceleration due to gravity. The weight of an object can be calculated using the equation: Weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity.


What two thing does weight depend on?

Weight depends on an object's mass and the acceleration due to gravity.


What happens to acceleration if the mass is increased and due to gravity?

If the mass is increased and gravity remains constant, the acceleration will decrease. This is because the force acting on the object remains the same due to gravity, but as the mass increases, the object will experience a greater resistance to acceleration.


What does the period of a pendulum depend on?

The length of the pendulum and the gravitational pull.
