## SNIIX18 one year ago Imagine that you are swinging back and forth a chain with a locket on the end. Assuming that you are on Earth so that gravity is constant at 9.81 meters/second², and you know that the chain is 43 centimeters long, what is the period of this simple pendulum? A. 13 seconds B. 1.3 seconds C. 3.5 seconds D. 0.76 seconds

$T=2\pi \sqrt{L/g}$

You're welcome! And I guess that equation only works for a "simple pendulum."

i divide the force mg into two component one is mgcos(theta) and mssin(theta) any question?

15. SNIIX18

no i understand know i was doing everything wrong Thank you for the help

ok....
