Step-by-step solution

3 steps

Part a

The mathematical relationship between the period (TT) and length (LL) of a simple pendulum is given by

T=2πLgT = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}

where gg is the acceleration due to gravity.

Part b

4 s\text{4 s}

  1. Identify the given angular speed and the relationship between angular speed and period.

    The angular speed (ω\omega) of the oscillating simple pendulum is given as 0.5π rads−10.5\pi \, \text{rads}^{-1}.
    The relationship between angular speed (ω\omega) and period (TT) is:

    ω=2πT\omega = \frac{2\pi}{T}
  2. Rearrange the formula to solve for the period (TT).

    T=2πωT = \frac{2\pi}{\omega}
  3. Substitute the given angular speed into the formula and calculate the period.

    T=2π0.5π rads−1T = \frac{2\pi}{0.5\pi \, \text{rads}^{-1}} T=20.5 sT = \frac{2}{0.5} \, \text{s} T=4 sT = 4 \, \text{s}

    The period of the pendulum is 4 s\boxed{\text{4 s}}.
