For a heavy weight on the end of a weightless string ("a simple pendulum") the period is 2.pi.squareroot(L/g) where L is the length of the string and g is the acceleration due to gravity. If the weight of the pendulum is not wholly at the end (as in a heavy rod instead of a light string) then replace L by k2/L where L is (as before) the distance to the centre of gravity below the suspension point, and k is the radius of gyration of the whole suspended part, inculding the arm of the pendulum as well as any weights ("compound pendulum").

Why does a pendulum lose time in summer and gain in winter?
Time period of pendulum is, T= 2π*SQRT(L/g) In summer due to high temperature value of 'l' increases which increases the time period of pendulum clock. Hence, pendulum clock loses time in summer. In winter due to low temperature value of 'l' decreases which decreases the time period of pendulum clock. Hence, pendulum clock gains time in winter.
What are the factors on which the time period of simple pendulum depends?
The length of the pendulum, and the acceleration due to gravity. Despite what many people believe, the mass has nothing to do with the period of a pendulum.
What is the period of a pendulum that takes 1 second?
The time that it "takes" is the period.
What effect does shortening the length of the pendulum have on the period of the pendulum?
A shorter pendulum has a shorter period. A longer pendulum has a longer period.
What do the length of the cord and gravity determine for a pendulum?
They determine the length of time of the pendulum's swing ... its 'period'.
Time period of simple pendulum is three seconds the same pendulum taken at the moon - what will be its new time period?
This pendulum, which is 2.24m in length, would have a period of 7.36 seconds on the moon.
In simple pendulum if string is flexible then what is effect on time period?
multiply the length of the pendulum by 4, the period doubles. the period is proportional to the square of the pendulum length.
The time for a pendulum to swing is what?
the period
How is the period of the pendulum affected by its length?
the time period of a pendulum is proportional to the square root of length.if the length of the pendulum is increased the time period of the pendulum also gets increased. we know the formula for the time period , from there we can prove that the time period of a pendulum is directly proportional to the effective length of the pendulum. T=2 pi (l\g)^1\2 or, T isproportionalto (l/g)^1/2 or, T is proportional to square root of the effective length.
What is second pendulum?
Second's pendulum is the one which has 2 second as its Time period.
What will happen to length of a simple pendulum if its time period is doubled?
time period of simple pendulum is dirctly proportional to sqare root of length...
Period of seconds pendulum?
Time period of a seconds pendulum is 99.3955111cm at a place where the gravitational acceleration is 9.8m/s2
What is the time period of a pendulum on moon?
... dependent on the length of the pendulum. ... longer than the period of the same pendulum on Earth. Both of these are correct ways of finishing that sentence.

What is the length of a pendulum with a period of 4.48ses?
The equation for the length, L, of a pendulum of time period, T, is gievn byL = g(T2/4?2),where g is the acceleration due to gravity. So, for a pendulum of time period 4.48 sec, the length of the pendulum is 4.99 metres (3 s.f).
