A pendulum oscillates 90 times in 6 seconds. Find its time period and frequency.
Answers
Time period is defined as the time taken to complete one oscillation.
In the question, we have been given that pendulum oscillates 90 times in 6 seconds.
i.e Time taken to complete 90 oscillation = 6 seconds
Then, time taken to complete 1 oscillation = 6 / 90 = 0.067 s
So, Time period of pendulum is 0.067 seconds.

Frequency is defined number of oscillations per second.
and, Frequency = 1 / time period
or, Frequency = 1 / 0.067
or, Frequency = 14.99 ≈ 15 Hz
