8.)What are the sources of error for both experiments?
9.)A pendulum on Earth has a period of 1 second. What will be its
period on the moon whose gravity is one-sixth that of the
Earth?
10.)Given two mass spring systems such that the spring constant of
the first is twice the second and the mass of the second is thrice
that of the first, calculate the ratio of the period of the first
to that of the second.
