So to answer this, let us plug in the given values to the given formula.
T = 2π√<span>L/32
2.2 = 2</span>π√L/32 <<divide both sides by 2π or 6.28
2.2/2π = √L/32 << square both sides
(2.2/2π)^2 = L/32 << next multiply both sides by 32 and we get
32 (2.2/2π ) = L
So the final answer would be L = <span>3.923156... or to round it off, it would be
L = 3.9
So the correct answer would be option D. 3.9 feet. Hope this is the answer that you are looking for.</span>
