## Question:

(a) Pendulum 2 has a string twice as long as pendulum 1. If we define x as the distance traveled by the bob along a circle away from the bottom, how does the k of pendulum 2 compare with the k of pendulum 1?

(b) Based on the answer from (a), how does the period of pendulum 2 compare with the period of pendulum 1? Give a numerical ratio.

## Spring Constant:

Spring constant is the property of the spring, which shows that how much amount of force is required to stretching the spring by unit displacement. Spring can be made of different material which has different spring constant value.
