The ninja returns with a plan...

| I've thought of a way to create a better pendulum than you! I'll add more mass to it and shorten the period! | |
 | |  |
|
 |
| | |
| Aye matey. That be wrong thinking. Adding mass doesn't change the period of a pendulum. | |
| | |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| | |
| But... I worked so hard creating a giant pendulum! | |
| | |
|
|
| | |
| Sorry. But ye should try calculating the period of a pendulum with a string length of 500cm located right behind ye. | |
| | |
|
|
|
|
Using the formula: T=2pi times the square root of string length (50) over force of gravity (9.8) the pirate quickly figures out the period.

|
|
 |
| | |
| The period is aproximately 14.19 seconds. Avast! | |
