Answer 2

Question can be answered without image.

2 seconds is the time period of the pendulum.

• Time period of pendulum is the amount of time taken by the pendulum to complete one oscillation.
• This time period is denoted by "T".
• One oscillation is the movement of pendulum to and fro once.
• In the given question, pendulum starts from position A and reaches back to the same position in 2 seconds.
• Thus, time period is 2 seconds.
