Question 427749: The amount of time it takes a period of a pendulum is the amount of time it takes to swing back and forth one time. The relationship between the length of the pendulum L in inches and the length of the period t in seconds can be approximated by L = 9.78t^2. Find the period of a pendulum whose length is 60 inches. Round to the nearest tenth of a second

The amount of time it takes a period of a pendulum is the amount of time it takes to swing back and forth one time.
The relationship between the length of the pendulum L in inches and the length of the period t in seconds can be approximated by L = 9.78t^2.
Find the period of a pendulum whose length is 60 inches. Round to the nearest tenth of a second.
---
L = 9.78t^2
60 = 9.78*t^2
6.135 = t^2
t = 2.48 seconds
