Find Pendulum Period & Frequency: 35 Oscillations in 12 Secs

[lexi_love]

can someone explain how to find the period of a pendulum when given only the time?

how do you find the period of a pendulum that makes 35 oscillations in 12 seconds? also the frequency?

a simple pendulum can be used as an altimeter on a plane. how will the period of the pendulum cary as the plane moves from the runway to its cruising altitued of 1.00x10^4 meters?

35 oscillations in 12 seconds


Periodic time is the time taken for one oscillation

Frequency is the number of oscillations per second
