16.4 Exercise 3

Avg difficulty 2.5

Which of the following gives the correct relation between the acceleration due to gravity and period of a pendulum?

  1. g =  2πL T 2 g \textrm{ } = \textrm{ } \frac{2 \pi L}{T^{2}}
  2. g =  4 π 2 L T 2 g \textrm{ } = \textrm{ } \frac{4 \pi^{2} L}{T^{2}}
  3. g =  2πL T g \textrm{ } = \textrm{ } \frac{2 \pi L}{T}
  4. g =  2 π 2 L T g \textrm{ } = \textrm{ } \frac{2 \pi^{2} L}{T}
