Simple pendulum A has a length of 0.5m, is attached to a 50g mass, and has a period of T seconds. If simple pendulum B has a length of 0.75m and is attached to a 60g mass, what is its period in terms of T?
True or False: "For a simple pendulum, the period increases with the length of the pendulum and decreases with the magnitude of the gravitational field."
