Question 1042686: The period of a pendulum, T, is known to be a function of the length, L, ie, T=2pi root (L/9.8) where T is measured in seconds and L is measured in meters. Find T(9.8) in terms of pi.
Help, I just don't get what the question is asking for. T(9.8)? What is that? Thanks so much.

They should have written the equation as:
+T%28L%29+=+2%2Api%2Asqrt%28+L%2F9.8+%29+
This way, it says that +T+ is a function of +L+
When you see +T%289.8%29, it means that +L+=+9.8+
--------------------------
+T%289.8%29+=+2%2Api%2Asqrt%28+9.8%2F9.8+%29+
+T%289.8%29+=+2%2Api%2Asqrt%281%29+
+T%289.8%29+=+2%2Api+
-------------------
Hope this is clear
