Question
If you double the length of a pendulum, what happens to its period?
Step 1
Step 1: The formula for the period of a simple pendulum is given by: \[T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}\] where \(T\) is the period, \(L\) is the length of the pendulum, and \(g\) is the acceleration due to gravity. Show more…
