Rearranging period of pendulum equation to find length

AI Thread Summary
To rearrange the pendulum equation T=2π√(l/g) for l, first square both sides to eliminate the square root. This results in T² = 4π²(l/g). Rearranging gives l = (gT²)/(4π²). It's crucial to remember to square the entire factor of 2π when performing this operation to avoid errors. The correct formula for the length of the pendulum is thus l = (gT²)/(4π²).

The Attempt at a Solution


Ive tried a few but I just don't know how to do this with sqrt's of a fraction involved.

Eliminate the square root by squaring both sides.
 
Ok,so what I end up with after that is l=T^2g/2pi. Which is wrong as its not giving me the correct answer.
 
When you square both sides, don't forget that you also have to square the factor of 2\pi
 
Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'
TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
Thread 'Struggling to make relation between elastic force and height'
Hello guys this is what I tried so far. I used the UTS to calculate the force it needs when the rope tears. My idea was to make a relationship/ function that would give me the force depending on height. Yeah i couldnt find a way to solve it. I also thought about how I could use hooks law (how it was given to me in my script) with the thought of instead of having two part of a rope id have one singular rope from the middle to the top where I could find the difference in height. But the...
