If it takes the swing 2 seconds to complete one cycle, then
that's the period of its motion ... 2 seconds.
The frequency is the reciprocal of the period ... 1/2 Hz.
('Hz' means 'per second'.)
Answer: 13.2 seconds.
Explanation: using equation of motion; S= ut +1/2at² where u = initial velocity=0
S= distance travelled
a = acceleration due gravity
t= time.
1 foot = 0.305m so,
S= 2860 feet =872.3m
S= ut+1/2 at²
872.3 = 0×t + 1/2×10 × t²
872.3 =0 + 5t²
T²= 872.3/5
T²= 174.46
Take the square root of T we then have;
t = 13.2 seconds to one decimal place.
