Answer:

1500 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

We are given that the ratio of the length of river Parana and Paraguay is

5:3

Parana is 2500 miles

Applying then part to part approach

let the length of Paraguay be x

5/3= 2500/x

cross multiply we have

5*x= 2500*3

5x= 7500

divide both sides by 5

x= 7500/5

x=1500 miles

Hence the lenght is 1500 miles

Jason knows that the equation to calculate the period of a simple pendulum is , where T is the period, L is the length of the ro

Brrunno [24]

<u>Answer-</u>

$\boxed{\boxed{L=\dfrac{g}{4\pi^2 f^2}}}$

<u>Solution-</u>

The equation for time period of a simple pendulum is given by,

$T=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{L}{g}}$

Where,

T = Time period,

L = Length of the rod,

g = Acceleration due to gravity.

Frequency (f) of the pendulum is the reciprocal of its period, i.e

$f=\dfrac{1}{T}\ \Rightarrow T=\dfrac{1}{f}$

Putting the values,

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{f}=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{L}{g}}$

$\Rightarrow (\dfrac{1}{f})^2=(2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{L}{g}})^2$

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{f^2}=4\pi^2 \dfrac{L}{g}$

$\Rightarrow L=\dfrac{g}{4\pi^2 f^2}$
