If the length of a pendulum is increased from 2m to 8 m, how will the period of oscillation be affected? it will be double. it will be halved. it will quadruple. it will decrease by one-fourth.
Added by Kelly S.
Step 1
The period \(T\) of a pendulum is given by the formula \(T = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}\), where \(T\) is the period of oscillation, \(L\) is the length of the pendulum, and \(g\) is the acceleration due to gravity, which is a constant. Show more…
