Other Types of Equations · Exercise 47

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

If the gravity is 32 ft/s^2 and the period equals 1 s, find the length to the nearest in. (12 in. = 1 ft). Round your answer to the nearest in.
