Answer:
- Move to a location where the acceleration due to gravity is larger
- Shorten the length of the pendulum
Explanation:
The frequency of a simple pendulum is given by
[tex]f=\frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{g}{L}}[/tex]
where
L is the length of the pendulum
g is the gravitational acceleration
From the formula, we notice that
- As the value of g increases, the frequency of the pendulum increases as well
- As the value of L increases, the frequency of the pendulum decreases
So, in order to increase the frequency of the pendulum, we can:
- Move to a location where the acceleration due to gravity, g, is larger
- Shorten the length of the pendulum (if L decreases, then the frequency increases)
