The formula $T = 2 \pi \sqrt { \frac { L } { 32 } }$ where T represents the time in seconds and L the length in feet, can be used to determine the period of a pendulum (see the figure) . Find the period of a 4.5-feet pendulum. Express your answer to the nearest tenth of a second.

A) 2.7 seconds
B) 3.1 seconds
C) 2.6 seconds
