Explanation:
oscillations are 30 in 60 sec then frequency n time period are given by,
f= N/t = 30/60= 0.5 Hz
T=1/f = 1/0.5= 2 sec
statement 2,3,and 5 are correct

(ii), (iii), and (v) are the correct statements.
Given: Number of oscillation, n = 30
time, t = 60 s
To Find: frequency of simple pendulum, f
Time period, T.
Solution:
To calculate f and T, the formula used:
- frequency, f = number of oscillation (n) / time(t)
- f = n / t
- Frequency of a simple pendulum is defined as the number of oscillations per unit of time.
- It is measured in hertz (Hz).
- And, the time period is the reciprocal of the frequency of the simple pendulum.
- Time period, T = 1 / frequency
Applying the formula for f :
f = 30 / 60
= 3/6
= 1/2
= 0.5
f = 0.5 Hz.
Applying the formula for T:
T = 1 / f
= 1 / 0.5
= 10 /5
= 2
T = 2 sec
Hence the frequency of the simple pendulum is 0.5Hz and the time period is 2 sec.
