T is time to complete one full swing (period) in seconds, L is length of the pendulum in feet, and g is the acceleration of gravity, 32 ft./s2. Use 3.14 for π. Round all other numbers to the thousandths place. Using your height in feet for L, the length of the pendulum, how long would it take to make one full swing on the pendulum? Share your height and calculations with the class.

T=2pi.sqrt(L/g) You didn't give us your height!!!, so I will make you 5 feet tall!

T=6.28. sqrt(5/32)

T=6.28 . 0.3952847

T=2.482 seconds- period of one pendulum swing.
