Question

Consider a physical pendulum with length of 81.9 cm and mass of 165 g. If the pendulum was released from an angle less than 10°, then calculate the period of the pendulum. (g = 9.80 m/s^2)

Answer 1

The period of the pendulum is 1.816 sec.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Length = 81.9 cm

Mass = 165 g

Angle = 10°

We need to calculate the period of the pendulum

Using formula of period

`T = 2\pi\sqrt{(l)/(g)}`

Where, l = length

g = acceleration due to gravity

Put the value into the formula

`T =2\pi\sqrt{(81.9*10^(-2))/(9.80)}`

`T=1.816\ sec`

Hence, The period of the pendulum is 1.816 sec.
