Question 204077This question is from textbook
: Time to swing. 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 8T2=pie2L. If a
child is on a swing with a 10-foot chain, then how long
does it take to complete one cycle of the swing?

Thanks for you help This question is from textbook

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 a 10-foot chain, then how long
does it take to complete one cycle of the swing?
---
8T^2 = (pi)2*10
T^2 = (20/8)pi
T = sqrt[(20pi/8]
T = 2.8.. seconds
