11.42. A spherical pendulum undergoes small oscillations about a conical angle . 

11.42. A spherical pendulum undergoes small oscillations about a conical angle . If the pendulum is at a latitude of 45N, for what values of will the precession owning to Earth's rotation just cancel the pendulum's natural precession? 11.43. A ball of mass m slides on a frictionless horizontal plane on Earth's surface. Show that the motion of the ball is similar to that of a Foucault pendulum provided the mass remains near the point of tangency. Find the time period and frequency of the oscillations.
