Design the length of the pendulum

Reference no: EM131125885

Consider the clock shown in Figure DP2.5. The pendulum rod of length L supports a pendulum disk. Assume that the pendulum rod is a massless rigid thin rod and the pendulum disc has mass m. Design the length of the pendulum, L, so that the period of motion is 2 seconds. Note that with a period of 2 seconds each "tick" and each "tock" of the clock represents 1 second, as desired. Assume small angles, φ in the analysis so the sin φ ≈φ. Can you explain why most grandfather clocks are about 1.5 m or taller?
