The specific gravity is the ratio of the density of oil to the density of water. Since the density of water is 1g/ml, the density of a substance is numerically the same as the specific gravity.
However, specific gravity is a dimensionless number, while density has units mass/volume.
So, the density of oil is .901 g/ml, but the specific gravity is just .901
In Imperial units, the density of the oil is 56.2 lb/ft^3, but the specific gravity is still .901
A pendulum is not a wave.
-- A pendulum doesn't have a 'wavelength'.
-- There's no way to define how many of its "waves" pass a point
every second.
-- Whatever you say is the speed of the pendulum, that speed
can only be true at one or two points in the pendulum's swing,
and it's different everywhere else in the swing.
-- The frequency of a pendulum depends only on the length
of the string from which it hangs.
If you take the given information and try to apply wave motion to it:
Wave speed = (wavelength) x (frequency)
Frequency = (speed) / (wavelength) ,
you would end up with
Frequency = (30 meter/sec) / (0.35 meter) = 85.7 Hz
Have you ever seen anything that could be described as
a pendulum, swinging or even wiggling back and forth
85 times every second ? ! ? That's pretty absurd.
This math is not applicable to the pendulum.
