document.write( "Question 60560: 102. Time swinging. The period T (time in seconds for one complete cycle) of a simple pendulum is related to the length L (in feet) of the pendulum by the formula 8T^2 = pie ^2L. If a child is on a swing with 10 feet chain, then how long does it take to complete one cycle? my brain is dead cam some one help my brain rejuvenate :) \n" ); document.write( "
Algebra.Com's Answer #41779 by tutorcecilia(2152)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! 8T^2 = pie ^2L \n" ); document.write( "8T^2 = pie ^2(10) [Substitute 10 for the length (L) and solve] \n" ); document.write( "T^2=10pi^2/8 [solve for T] \n" ); document.write( "T^2=12.337 \n" ); document.write( "sqrt(T^2)=sqrt(12.337) \n" ); document.write( "T=3.5124 seconds \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "Check by plugging all of the values back into the original problem and solve] \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
