Question

Students are doing the Period of a Pendulum Lab. They observe that a pendulum makes exactly 10 complete back and forth cycles of motion in 31.8sec. Determine the period of the pendulum.

Answer 1

We can find the period of the pendulum from the formula:

$$T=\dfrac{Time\ for\ 10\ oscillations}{10}=\dfrac{31.8\ s}{10}=3.18\ s.$$

Answer:

$T=3.18\ s.$
