The period T of a pendulum is given by:

where L is the length of the pendulum while

is the gravitational acceleration.
In the pendulum of the problem, one complete vibration takes exactly 0.200 s, this means its period is

. Using this data, we can solve the previous formula to find L:
Answer:
Organic matter decomposition serves two functions for the microorganisms, providing energy for growth and suppling carbon for the formation of new cells. ... Dead plant residues and plant nutrients become food for the microbes in the soil
