Question

A 44-inch pendulum swings at an angle of 14°. Find the length of the arc to the nearest hundredth of an inch through which the tip of the pendulum swings.

Answer 1

Answer:

10.75 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

A 44-inch pendulum swings at an angle of 14°. Find the length of the arc to the nearest hundredth of an inch through which the tip of the pendulum swings.

The formula of the length of the arc subtended by pendulum is given as = (x/360)*2πr or (x/180)*πr

Where:-

x = angle subtended by pendulum which is = 14°

r = Length of the pendulum = 44 inch

Lenghth of arc = ?

By putting values

Length of the arc = (14/180 × π × 44

= 10.751228192 inches

Approximately = 10.75 Inches
