Question

a simple pendulum takes 32 seconds to complete 20 oscillations then the time period of the pendulum is

Answer 1

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 = $\frac{32}{20}$

Time period = 1.6 seconds

Hence, the time period of the pendulum is 1.6 seconds

Answer 2

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 =

Time period = 1.6 seconds

Hence, the time period of the pendulum is 1.6 seconds
