Formula for finding the period of a pendulm?

[celect]

T = 2*pi * Sqrt 1/g

Is this the proper formula for finding the period of a pendulm?


The length = 0.9 meters
g= 9.8m/s^2

I come up with 1.90s..
am I going in right direction?

Yes that's correct,though I think you have a typo in your formula:

$$T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}$$

Yes, you are on the right track! The formula for finding the period of a pendulum is T = 2*pi * Sqrt(L/g), where L is the length of the pendulum and g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8m/s^2). Plugging in the given values, we get T = 2*pi * Sqrt(0.9/9.8) = 1.90 seconds. So your calculation is correct. Keep in mind that the period of a pendulum depends on its length and the acceleration due to gravity, so different values will result in different periods. Great job!

Yes, you are going in the right direction! The formula for finding the period of a pendulum is T = 2*pi * Sqrt(L/g), where L is the length of the pendulum and g is the acceleration due to gravity. In this case, with a length of 0.9 meters and g = 9.8 m/s^2, the period would be approximately 1.90 seconds. It is always important to check your units and make sure they are consistent in order to get an accurate result. Keep up the good work!
