Answer:

The length, L = 7.52 m.

Explanation:

The given expression is


5.5= 2 \pi \sqrt(L)/(9.8)\\\\Sqauring on both the sides\\\\5.5 * 5.5 = 4\pi^2 * (L)/(9.8)\\\\L = 7.52 m

The value of length is 7.52 m.

Answer:

7.51 m

Explanation:

The equation matches that required for finding the length of a pendulum that has a period of 5.5 seconds. We can solve for L to find the length.


5.5=2\pi\sqrt{(L)/(9.8)}\\\\(5.5)/(2\pi)=\sqrt{(L)/(9.8)}\\\\\left((5.5)/(2\pi)\right)^2=(L)/(9.8)\\\\L=74.1125/\pi^2\approx7.509

The length of a pendulum with period 5.5 seconds is about 7.51 meters.
