The formula relates the time, T, in seconds for a pendulum with the length, L, in feet, to make one full swing back and forth. What is the length of a pendulum that makes one full swing in 2.2 seconds? Use 3.14 for . 2 feet 4 feet 11 feet 19 feet

Answer: 4 feet (approx)

Explanation:

Since, We know that the length of pendulum,


L= (g.T^2)/(4\pi^2)

Where L is the length of pendulum

T is the period,

And, g is the gravitational acceleration.( g=9.8
m^2/sec)

Here, T= 2.2 seconds

Thus, Length of pendulum,
L= (9.8* (2.2)^2)/(4* (3.14)^2) = 1.20268570733 meter

1 meter= 3.28 ( approx)

Thus L= 1.20268570733 ×3.28 feet =3.94480912005 feet ≈4 feet
