Rearranging period of pendulum equation to find length

AI Thread Summary
To rearrange the pendulum equation T=2π√(l/g) for l, first square both sides to eliminate the square root. This results in T² = 4π²(l/g). Rearranging gives l = (gT²)/(4π²). It's crucial to remember to square the entire factor of 2π when performing this operation to avoid errors. The correct formula for the length of the pendulum is thus l = (gT²)/(4π²).

The Attempt at a Solution


Ive tried a few but I just don't know how to do this with sqrt's of a fraction involved.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Eliminate the square root by squaring both sides.
 
Ok,so what I end up with after that is l=T^2g/2pi. Which is wrong as its not giving me the correct answer.
 
When you square both sides, don't forget that you also have to square the factor of 2\pi

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...

Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'

The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...
