Question

The length of time (T) in seconds it takes the pendulum of a clock to swing through one compete cycle is givenby the formulaT= 2T✔️L/32 Where L is the length, in feet, of the pendulum, and is pie approximately 22/7. How long must the pendulum be of one complete cycle takes 2 seconds? Answer as a fraction or round to at least 2 decimal places.The pendulum must be__ feet.

Answer 1

we have the formula

$T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{L}{32}}$

For T=2 seconds

substitute in the given formula

$\begin{gathered} 2=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{L}{32}} \\ \\ 1=\frac{22}{7}\sqrt{\frac{L}{32}} \\ \\ squared\text{ both sides} \\ \\ (\frac{7}{22})^2=\frac{L}{32} \\ \\ L=\frac{7^2*32}{22^2} \\ \\ L=3.24\text{ ft} \end{gathered}$
