Algebra.Com's Answer #444341 by stanbon(75887)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! the length of a pendulum is directly proportional to the square of the time it takes for the pendulum to make one complete swing. \n" ); document.write( "L = k*t^2 \n" ); document.write( "------------------------ \n" ); document.write( "if a 20 inch long pendulum takes about 5 seconds to swing through one complete cycle \n" ); document.write( "20 = k*5^2 \n" ); document.write( "k = 4/5 \n" ); document.write( "---- \n" ); document.write( "then find the model that relates the length L of the pendulum to the time period T of the pendulum \n" ); document.write( "------ \n" ); document.write( "Equation for that pendulum: \n" ); document.write( "L = (4/5)t^2 \n" ); document.write( "------- \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
