25.PENDULUM The time required for a pendulum to complete one swing, back
ℓ
and forth, can be modeled using the equation 𝑡 = 2𝜋√ , where t is the time
32
in seconds and ℓ is the length of the pendulum in feet.
The time it takes a 5.4-foot pendulum to complete one swing is about [ Ⓐ 2.6
Ⓑ 15.3 Ⓒ 23.6 ] seconds.
A pendulum with a length of about [ Ⓐ 3.1 Ⓑ 12.6 Ⓒ 51.9 ] feet will
complete one swing in 8 seconds.
