A simple pendulum makes 115 complete oscillations in 240 min
A simple pendulum makes 115 complete oscillations in 2.40 min at a location where g = 9.80 m/s^2. Find the period of the pendulum. Find the length of the pendulum.
Solution
time period = time taken in one oscillation
=> T = 2.4*60)/(115 = 1.25 sec
b)
T = 2pi*sqrt(L/g)
=> L = (1.25/(2*3.14))^2*9.8 = 0.388 m
