use simple pendulum formula T=2pie/square root L over g(where L is the length of pendulum,T is time period,and g is gravitational acceleration normally taken as 9.81) .then square both sides to get rid of square root.answer is 1.998476789 meters which is 2.0 to two significant figures.

What is the period of a pendulum that takes 48 seconds to complete 16 cycles?

To find the period of a pendulum, you divide the total time by the number of cycles. In this case, the total time is 48 seconds for 16 cycles. Thus, the period ( T ) is calculated as ( T = \frac{48 , \text{seconds}}{16} = 3 , \text{seconds} ). Therefore, the period of the pendulum is 3 seconds.


How does length and initial angle affect the period in a simple pendulum?

The longer the pendulum is, the greater the period of each swing. If you increase the length four times, you will double the period. It is hard to notice, but the period of a pendulum does depend on the angle of oscillation. For small angles, the period is constant and depends only on the length of the pendulum. As the angle of oscillation (amplitude) is increased, additional factors of a Taylor approximation become important. (T=2*pi*sqrt(L/g)[1+theta^2/16+...] and the period increases. (see hyper physics: http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/pendl.html) Interestingly, if the pendulum is supported by a very light wire then the mass of the object at the end of the pendulum does not affect the period. Obviously, the greater the mass, the less any air friction or friction at the pivot will slow the pendulum. Also interestingly, the pendulum period is dependant on the force of gravity on the object (g). One must not assume that g is constant for all places on Earth.

Revolution of Neptune?

The Sidereal rotational period (one spin relative to the background stars) is 16 hrs 6 min and 36 seconds. This is approximately the length of one Neptuniuan day. The length of one Neptunian year (one rotation around the sun) is 164.79 years.
