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.)

Suppose that an electromagnetic wave which is linearly polarized along the x−axis is propagating in vacuum along the z−axis. the wave is incident on a conductor which is placed at z > 0 region of the space. the conductor has conductivity σ, magnetic permeability µ and electric permittivity ε. (a) find the characteristic time for the free charge density which dissipates at the conductor. (b) write the maxwell equations and derive the wave equation for a plane wave propagating in a conductor. (c) find the attenuation distance at which the incident amplitude reduces to e ^−1 of its initial value. (d) find the electric and magnetic fields inside the conductor. 8 (e) find the power loss per area of the incident electromagnetic wave at the surface of conductor.
