Hi physics ninja! Any ways you could do some gravitational field strength questions? Especially finding the altitude above the earth etc?? Keep up the great work btw!
I tried to calculate how much time it took for the ruler to fall on the ground at angle theta. And I got to the differential equation. Angular acceleration is equal to some constant times cos(theta). In other words, f’’(t)=C*cos(f). This differential equation is impossible? With some error in mind, I made angle small enough that cos(f) is essentialy 1. Then it can be deduced that f(t)=C^2/2. And when f=theta. We have the formula for time, but this is still approximation. How would you deal with this problem, finding exactly the solution of this dif equation?
