REAL QUICK question about how to solve for the period of a simple pendulum?

Number31.png


For part a, I tried using the formula: T = 2π√(L/g)

I did,

T = 2π√(53.4/9.8)
T = 2π√(5.44)
T = 2π(2.33)
T = 14.6 s

But that's wrong... Help please?

I detect a hint you should do it differently:
makes 80.6 complete oscillations in 2.00 min[/size]
