Common questions
What is the Pendulum Period formula?
Pendulum Period is written T = 2π√(L/g). Period of simple pendulum (small angles). It belongs to Waves, under Simple Harmonic Motion.
What are the units in T = 2π√(L/g)?
In SI units, T is period, measured in s; L is length, measured in m; g is gravitational acceleration, measured in m/s².
How is the Pendulum Period formula derived?
For small θ: ω = √(g/L), T = 2π√(L/g). The result is T = 2π√(L/g).
