Suppose you want to use a simple pendulum to measure accurately the acceleration of gravity around the earth. gravity on the earth's surface varies by around 0.7%, from 9.7639 m/s2 on the nevado huascarán mountain in peru to 9.8337 m/s2 at the surface of the arctic ocean (according to wikipedia). your pendulum has a length of 0.750 m, and you time its oscillations while you count 200 full periods in each location. what is the maximum error, in seconds, that you can make in the time difference if you want to measure the difference in period between those two locations to 10% precision? (note: because is proportional to the inverse square of the period, a 10% precision in a measurement of the period will only give a 20% precision in a measurement of if you want to do better, you can count more oscillations, or you can measure the times more accurately, or both.)

Currents in dc transmission lines can be 100 a or higher. some people are concerned that the electromagnetic fields from such lines near their homes could pose health dangers. for a line that has current 150 a and a height of 8.0 m above the ground, what magnetic field does the line produce at ground level? express your answer in teslas and as a percentage of the earth’s magnetic field, which is 0.50 g. is this value cause for worry?
