Question

A pendulum has a length of 0.7 meter and a mass of 200 grams. Calculate the period (in seconds) of the pendulum.

Answer 1

Answer:

1.6784 sec

Explanation:

Length of the pendulum is given as L =0.7 meter

Acceleration due to gravity $g=9.8m/sec^2$

Time period of the pendulum is given by$T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}$

Here L is the length of the pendulum and g is the acceleration due to gravity

So time period $T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}=2\times 3.14\sqrt{\frac{0.7}{9.8}}=1.6784sec$

So time period of the given pendulum is 1.6784 sec
