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