The period of oscillation can be calculated using the formula:
T = 2π√(L/g)
Where:
T = period of oscillation
L = length of the pendulum
g = acceleration due to gravity
The acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Earth is approximately 9.8 m/s².
Plugging in the given values:
L = 2.00 m
g = 9.8 m/s²
T = 2π√(2.00 / 9.8)
T ≈ 2π√(0.2041)
T ≈ 2π(0.452)
T ≈ 2.843 s
The period of oscillation is approximately 2.843 seconds.
A 5.00 kg mass is attached to a 2.00 m long pendulum near the surface of the planet Earth. Calculate the period of oscillation.
