Question 520871: Please help!!! I keep getting 0.2123 seconds but not positive that this is correct...could someone show me the steps? Thank you!!!
The period of time the pirate ship ride at a carnival takes to complete one cycle swinging to and fro is represented by the formula below for L feet long and T seconds. Find to the nearest hundredth of a second the period of time it takes the ride to swing one cycle if the ride hangs 200 feet.
T=3π √(L/940)

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
+T+=+3%2Api%2Asqrt%28+L%2F940+%29+
+T+=+3%2A3.141%2Asqrt%28+200%2F940+%29+
+T+=+3%2A3.141%2Asqrt%28+.21277+%29+
+T+=+3%2A3.141%2A.461266+
+T+=+4.35+ sec
This makes more sense to me if I
was watching the actual ride.
Hope I got it.
