2.6 Exercise 68

Avg difficulty 2.5

Use the model for the period of a pendulum, T, T , such that T=2π L g , T = 2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}} , where the length of the pendulum is L and the acceleration due to gravity is g. g .

If the gravity is 32 ft/s2 and the period equals 1 s, find the length to the nearest in. (12 in. = 1 ft). Round your answer to the nearest in.
