According to Galileo's pendulum theory, which factor determines the time taken to swing through one complete cycle?

Respuesta :

It depends on the length of the string and the speed its swinging at. If its short then it will reach the full swing in less of a time but if its a longer string then it would take a longer time to make a full swing.

Explanation :

The time period of the Galileo's pendulum is given by :

[tex]T=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{L}{g}}[/tex]

Where,

L is the length of the pendulum

g is acceleration due to gravity

So, the time period of the depends on the length of the pendulum. It is independent of the mass of the bob and its amplitude.

So, the length is the only factor that determines the time taken to swing through one complete cycle is the length of the pendulum.
