Question

A simple pendulum takes 32 seconds to complete 20 oscillations. What is the time period of the pendulum?

Answer 1

Answer:

A simple pendulum takes \[32 s\] to complete 20 oscillations, what is the time period of the pendulum? Hint: Time period of a pendulum is time taken by it to complete 1 oscillation. Hence, the time period of the pendulum is 1.6 seconds.

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

Number of oscillations completed by the pendulum = 20

Time taken to complete 20 oscillations = 32 seconds

Time period of the pendulum is defined as the time taken by the pendulum to complete one oscillation.

Hence,

Time period = \frac{32}{20}

20

32

Time period = 1.6 seconds

Hence, the time period of the pendulum is 1.6 seconds
