Answer:

l = 10.16 m

Explanation:

In this case, we have the period of oscillation of the pendulum is 6.4 s. It is required to find the height of the tower.

We know that the pendulum executes SHM. Let l is the height of the tower. The time period of simple pendulum is given by :

T=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{l}{g}}

g is acceleration due to gravity

We need to rearrange the above equation such that,

l=\dfrac{T^2g}{4\pi ^2}\\\\l=\dfrac{(6.4)^2\times 9.8}{4\pi ^2}\\\\l=10.16\ m

So, the height of the tower is 10.16 m.

1.  Changing from solid to a liquid is called melting / fusion and happen

at the melting/ fusion point.

Reason: melting point is a temperature at which a solid melt and converts into liquid by providing heat.

2. Changing from liquid to gas is called evaporation/boiling and happens at the evaporation/boiling point.

Reason. Evaporation is a process in which molecules from surface of liquid convert into gas.

3.   Changing from a gas to a liquid  is called condensation and happens at the condensation point.

Reason : In condensation process  gas particles converts into liquid droplets.

4. Changing from liquid to a solid is called freezing and happens at the freezing point.

Reason : Freezing is a process that convert liquid into soilid state by decreasing temperature of that specific liquid,
