What is the length of a pendulum that has a period of 4. 89 seconds?

Hi there!

We can use the following equation for a simple pendulum:

[tex]T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}[/tex]

T = Period (4.89 s)
L = length (? m)
g = acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s²)

Rearrange the equation to solve for L.

[tex]T^2 = 4\pi ^2 \frac{L}{g}\\\\L = \frac{gT^2}{4\pi ^2}[/tex]

[tex]L = \frac{(9.8)(4.89^2)}{4\pi^2} = \boxed{5.936 \frac{m}{s}}[/tex]

A pendulum is a body hanging from a fixed point that swings back and forth under the effect of gravity. The length of a pendulum that has a period of 4.89 seconds is 5.936 meters.

What is a pendulum?

A pendulum is a body hanging from a fixed point that swings back and forth under the effect of gravity. Pendulums are employed to govern the movement of clocks because the time interval for each full oscillation, known as the period, remains constant.

Given that the time period is 4.89 seconds, therefore, the length of the pendulum can be written as,

[tex]\rm T = 2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{L}{g}}\\\\4.89 = 2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{L}{9.81}}\\\\L = 5.936\ m[/tex]

Hence, the length of a pendulum that has a period of 4.89 seconds is 5.936 meters.
