an intoxicated clockmaker produces a grandfather clock whose pendulum has a period of 3.5\;\mathrm{s}3.5s. what is the length of the pendulum?

Respuesta :

The length of the pendulum is equal to 1.35 m.

What is a simple pendulum?

A simple pendulum can be described as a mechanical arrangement that exhibits periodic motion. The simple pendulum is made of a small bob of mass ‘m’ suspended by a thin thread hung at its upper end of length L.

The simple pendulum moves in an oscillatory motion and the motion occurs in a vertical plane which is driven by the gravitational force.

The time period of the pendulum is given by:

T = 2π√(L/g)

Where L is the length and g is the gravitational acceleration.

Given, the time period of a pendulum, T = 3.5 s

Then the length of the pendulum can be calculated as:

[tex]{\displaystyle 3.5 = 3\times 3.14 \sqrt{\frac{L}{9.8} }[/tex]

(0.37)² = L/9.8

L = 1.35 m
