The Foulcault Pendulum at the California Academy of Science in San Francisco is constructed by a 30ft steel cable dangling a 106kg weight to keep it in motion. Due to the varied temperature of San Francisco, the length of the steel cable can stretch and contract by .0144 ft over the course of the year. The period of one swing of any pendulum is given by T = 2π where T, L, and g = -32- are the time of one period, the √/w ft second² length of the pendulum and acceleration due to gravity, resp. Compute the error of one period of the pendulum.
