0.5
The length of the pendulum does not depend on time period of oscillation of the pendulum
True or False
False
What do you mean by time period of oscillation of a pendulum?
Time taken by the bob of a pendulum to complete one oscillation
Give the equation for time period of oscillation of a pendulum
T = (Time taken for n oscillations (t)/(Number of oscillations (n)
A simple pendulum takes 60 seconds to complete 20 oscillations. What is the time period of this pendulum?
3s
