Question

A pendulum experiences simple harmonic motion with a period of2 sec. To use the small angle approximation, the swing angle of thependulum must be less than what angle? b) What is the length of the pendulum?

Explanation / Answer

We know that          T = 2L/g ==> L = T2g / 42            = 4 * 9.8 / 4 * 3.14 * 3.14            = 0.9939 m
