The time of swing of a pendulum is T = 2π √ (l/g) where l is the length of the pendulum.
As T ∝√l (Time is directly proportional to the square root of l) then, the longer the pendulum, the greater is the period. Therefore longer pendulums have longer periods than shorter pendulums.
There's no relationship between the length of the pendulum and the number of swings.However, a shorter pendulum has a shorter period, i.e. the swings come more often.So a short pendulum has more swings than a long pendulum has in the same amountof time.
Nice problem! I get 32.1 centimeters.
ts period will become sqrt(2) times as long.
It would tend towards infinity
Answer #1:Your question cannot be answered without knowing what the pendulum wasfilled with before it was filled with mercury.If it had nothing in it, before, then adding the mercury would increase theperiod time.If it had lead in it before, then adding the mercury would decrease the periodtime.================================Answer #2:The period of a simple pendulum doesn't depend on the weight (mass) of thebob. As long as the bob is much heavier than the string, and air resistance canbe ignored, nothing you do to the bob has any effect on the period.
Natural period of a long pendulum is slower than for a short pendulum.
The period of a 0.85 meter long pendulum is 1.79 seconds.

When the length of a pendulum is increased, by any amount, its Time Period increases. i.e. it moves more slowly. Conversely, if the length is decreased, by any amount, its Time Period decreases. i.e. it moves faster.
You can use a simple pendulum, measure how long one period takes, then use the formula for a pendulum, and solve for gravitational acceleration.
A pendulum with a period of five seconds has a length of 6.21 meters.
The weight of the bob will determine how long the pendulum swings before coming to rest in the absence of applied forces. The period, or time of 1 oscillation, is determined only by the length of the pendulum.
A short range strategy is one aimed at covering a small region within a short period of time. A long range strategy is aimed at covering a larger area over a longer period of time.
a short period.
If you make the simplifying assumption that everything except the bob is massless, then the mass of the bob has no effect on the period.
You can build a simple pendulum - one that has most of its mass concentrated in a small place, at the end of the pendulum. Measure the pendulum's length, and measure how long it takes to go back and forth. Use the formula for the period of a pendulum, solving for "g".
