The equation for period is T (period)=2[tex] \pi [/tex] [tex] \sqrt{ \frac{L (length of string)}{g (gravity)} [/tex]. Pluging in the length of the string in meters, .246, and 9.8 for gravity you come to the answer of 0.995 or about 1 second.
Answer:
0.99 s
Explanation:
The period of a simple pendulum is given by:
[tex]T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}[/tex]
where
L is the length of the pendulum
g is the acceleration due to gravity
In this problem, we have
[tex]L=24.6 cm=0.246 m[/tex]
[tex]g=9.81 m/s^2[/tex]
Substituting into the equation, we find the period:
[tex]T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{0.246 m}{9.81 m/s^2}}=0.99 s[/tex]
