question 28

Short Answer

The period of a pendulum is the time it takes to swing from one side to the other side and back. 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 2.5-feet pendulum. Express your answer to the nearest tenth of a second.
