Apendulum is constructed from a thin, rigid, and uniform rod with a small sphere attached to the end opposite the pivot. this arrangement is a good approximation to a simple pendulum (period = 0.94 s), because the mass of the sphere (lead) is much greater than the mass of the rod (aluminum). when the sphere is removed, the pendulum is no longer a simple pendulum, but is then a physical pendulum. what is the period of the physical pendulum?

answer: the exterior temperature of commercial jet planes as they leave the stratosphere and return to the ground increases steadily.

explanation:

the lower most layer of atmosphere is troposphere which extends from 0 to 12 km above the surface of the earth. the temperature initially decreases as distance is increased from the earth's surface. commercial jets fly in lower part of the stratosphere. the stratosphere extends upto 50 km. the temperature in stratosphere starts rising again due to presence of ozone which traps the uv rays.

thus, when the planes leave the stratosphere and return to the ground, the exterior temperature increases steadily.
