Question 1077759: The time period of a simple pendulum is directly related to the square root of its length. an 8 foot pendulum has a period of 3.2 seconds. find the period of a grandfather clock that has a pendulum of length 3 feet . Need help with developing the formula to solve problem. Found 2 solutions by amfagge92, MathTherapy:Answer by amfagge92(93) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Tα√L
T=K√L
K is constant of proportionality
K=3.2/√8
K=1.14
the formula is
T=1.14/√L
for 3feet
T=1.14/√3
T=0.67.
