Calculate the length of a second pendulum having a time period of 2s at a plate where g = 9.8 m s⁻². (L = 0.992 m) 



Given:

The time period of the second pendulum = T = 2 s

Value of acceleration due to gravity = g = 9.8 m s⁻²


To Find:


Length of second pendulum = L = ?



Solution:


The formula for the Time Period of the pendulum is 

T = 2π `\sqrt frac{L}{g}`

To separate the L from this formula we will take square on both sides and by simplifying we get

L = `\frac {T^2 g}{(2π)^2}`

by putting values

L = `\frac {(2s)^2 x 9.8 m s⁻²}{(2 x 3.1416)^2}`
 
L = `\frac {4 s² x 9.8 m s⁻²}{(6.283185)^2}`

L = `\frac {39.2 m}{39.478}`

L = 0.9929 m ------------Ans.

Hence, the length L of the second pendulum at g = 9.8 m s⁻² is 0. 9929 m
