Label it a 11) (b) The pendulum takes 0.40 s to swing from A to C. Determine the frequency of the pendulum. Frequency = . (2) (©) The period of pendulums, Tis given by the equation T = 2n [Ewhere Lis the length of the pendulum in metres and g = 10 Nikg. If pendulum Q oscillates with a period that is twice as long as the pendulum P above, determine the ratio of the length of pendulum P to the length of pendulum Q. Ratio of lengths: .. pect (8 D2{a) Length drawn from point of suspension to centre of bob. Labeled clearly as “Length”.
