The Amount of Time It Takes for a Pendulum to Swing

Question 15

Multiple Choice

The amount of time it takes for a pendulum to swing "to-and-fro" through one complete cycle is called the "period" and is calculated using the following equation: T=2πLgT = 2 \pi \sqrt { \frac { L } { g } } where T=T = period in seconds
L=L = length of pendulum
g=g = gravitational acceleration, 9.8 m/s29.8 \mathrm {~m} / \mathrm { s } ^ { 2 } What is the appropriate unit for L if the preceding equation is to be homogeneous in units?


A) meters
B) liters
C) m/s2\mathrm { m } / \mathrm { s } ^ { 2 }
D) seconds
