Answer:
The difference is obviously due tithe different gravitational constants as a result of variation in radius if the earth in Maryland and sydney
So
To calculate the difference
We use
distance s = 1/2 gt²
T = time difference between first spark and 25th spark will now be
24x (1/F)
= 24/60
= 0.4 sec
Therefore differnce in reading will be 0.5 x(9.8104 - 9.7967)x 0.42
= 0.002877 units
