A torsion pendulum with a vanadium wire containing nitrogen, and a period of 2.00 seconds, shows a decrease in the pendulum amplitude, A, of 10 percent in 100 cycles of oscillation at 350K. Compute:

a.The specific damping capacity.

b.The logarithmic decrement.

c. Tan α, where α is the phase angle by which the strain lags the stress.

A "seconds" pendulum is one that goes through its equilibrium position once each second. (The period of the pendulum is 2.000 s.) The length of a seconds pendulum is 0.9927 m at Tokyo and 0.9942 m at Cambridge, England. What is the ratio of the free-fall accelerations at these two locations? (Give your answer to at least 4 decimal places.) Cambridge /Tokyo =
