Explanation: Equilibrium position of a simple pendulum is its rest position which is 1/4 of the oscillation. A complete oscillation will be 0.25 x 4 = 1s

I think it's 0.5 pls

where did the 4 come from

incorrect it travelled from equilibrium to one extreme end that is not one full oscillation

from rest it goes to extreme right-1...then back to equilibrium-2.....then to extreme left-3.....then back to equilibrium position-4...thats why its times 4

The period (T) of a simple pendulum is the time it takes for one complete cycle, which is the time for the bob to swing from one extreme end, through its equilibrium position, to the other extreme end, and back again.

Given that the bob takes 0.25 seconds to swing from its equilibrium position to one extreme end, it takes the same amount of time to swing back to the equilibrium position. So, the total time for one complete cycle is twice that:

�
=
2
×
0.25
T=2×0.25
�
=
0.50
seconds
T=0.50 seconds

Therefore, the period of the simple pendulum is 0.50 seconds.

The right answer is 0.5s

It's 0.5, I don't know what u guys are saying
