You are considering installing a pendulum in the amusement park visitor’s center. The time it takes a pendulum to complete a full cycle or swing depends upon the length of the pendulum. The formula is given by T = 2 π √(L/32) where T represents the time in seconds and L represents the length of the pendulum in feet.

If the pendulum is 8 feet long, how long will it take for the pendulum to complete a full cycle?

Answer:

π (3.14) seconds

Explanation:

T = 2π√(L/32)

T = 2π√(8/32)

T = 2π√(1/4)

T = 2π(1/2)

T = π

It will take π seconds for the pendulum to complete a full cycle if the pendulum is 8 feet long
