Question

It takes 0.2 s for a pendulum bob to move from the mean position to one end. What is the time period of the pendulum?

Answer 1

As we know,

Time period = 4 × (time a pendulum bob takes to move from mean position to one end).

Given, Time a pendulum bob takes to move from mean position to one end = 0.2 s

Substituting the value in the equation above we get,

Time taken to complete one oscillation (T) -

= 4 × 0.2 s

= 0.8 s

Hence, time period of the pendulum = 0.8 s
