Question

a simple pendulum takes 40 seconds to complete 24 oscillation is the time period of a pendulum​

Answer 1

A simple pendulum takes 40 seconds to complete 24 oscillations, therefore the time period is equal to 1.667 s.

The time period is defined as the time taken to complete one full oscillation.

Step 1: Calculating the time period

Given data:

Total time taken = 40 s

Number of oscillations = 24

For 24 oscillations the time taken by the pendulum is 40 s.

Therefore, 1 oscillation will take time  $\frac{40}{24} =1.667 s$.

Thus, the time period is 1.667 seconds.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Given that Time period $40\:sec$

To complete $24$ oscillation

As we know,

The time required to complete one oscillation is known as Time Period.                    

Time Period=Time taken/No. of oscillations

Now,

Time taken to complete $24\: oscillations:- 40\: sec$

Therefore,

Time taken to complete 1 oscillation i.e.:-$\frac{40}{24} =1.66\: sec$

Hence the time taken to complete one oscillation is $1.66\: sec$

Note:

A simple pendulum takes 40 seconds to complete 24 oscillation cacculate the time period to complete one oscillation.
