As its a pendulum I used
To calculate the time. To which I got 4/7π
I then used f=1/period and converted 80cm to 0.8m and got a frequency of 0.577Hz, is this correct ?
The formula for calculating the frequency of a simple pendulum is f = 1/T, where f is the frequency in Hertz (Hz) and T is the period in seconds (s).
The period of a simple pendulum can be determined by measuring the time it takes for the pendulum to complete one full swing, also known as one oscillation.
The frequency of a simple pendulum is inversely proportional to the length of the pendulum. This means that as the length of the pendulum increases, the frequency decreases, and vice versa.
The standard unit for measuring the length of a simple pendulum is meters (m).
Yes, the frequency of a simple pendulum can be changed by adjusting the length of the pendulum or by changing the gravitational pull on the pendulum, such as by moving it to a different location on Earth or on another planet.
