Power = (work or energy) / (time)
100 W = (energy) / (20 sec)
Energy = 2,000 watt-sec
<em>Energy = 2,000 J</em>
Answer:
Length of the pendulum will be 3.987 m
Explanation:
We have given time period of the pendulum T = 8 sec
Acceleration due to gravity 
We have to find the length of the simple pendulum
We know that time period of the simple pendulum is given by



So length of the pendulum will be 3.987 m
The resistance of the piece of wire is

where

is the resistivity of the copper

is the length of the piece of wire

is the cross sectional area of the wire
By substituting these values, we find the value of R:

Then, by using Ohm's law, we find the potential difference between the two points of the wire:
Work done = force x distance
work done = 15 x 3
work done = 45J
